Gents,

For who is interested.

The picture of my last post is from the video plane in which I did test the suspended camera mounting and vibration damping for the Taurus.
That is the reason of the flight, make much movements to see the result back, because I do this alone.
For that I did make this video clip direct recorded in the plane, so not by the HF link.
When you look to the clip you see in the corners the vibrations of the plane.

The music is later mounted in the clip by a member of the club.

About the music:
The name of the music number is “Lea” (1968), band, The Cats, Netherlands.
Lea a girl was a fan, just as many of us, from the band The Cats, in county I did live in the period.
She was killed in a car accident , hit by a truck, 21 years old.
She did travelling back home after a concert.
When I see the clip, I have to think about an Angel , homesick, frequently coming back.
Just to show a less nice part of history when I fly my planes and someone does me remember with a car accident.

Flying,
Plane, sort of (WIK) Jonni (1966?)
Starting the plane in the winter, cold.
First priming the fuel, than some hot water over the cylinder of the engine to evaporate the fuel, and after that connecting the glowplug and start.
BTW do not ask me to use a starter motor because it cost me more time to switch these on than start a glow plug engine!
I am the pilot, on wooden shoes, to keep my feet warm.
The engine has two controllers, fuelpressure and tank pressure.
The videotransmitter is pointing down near the ground not used in the clip.
The engine is a MVVS 7,5 CC
Covering silk and dope.
Special workhorse painting scheme.
Wingloading "more than high", there is a complete foto/video camera in the skybox, for this first experiment.
On the othre side of the fuselage the altitude and variometer are mounted.
In the picture of the other/last post most components are mounted in the top box, without HF transmitter, and the pitot tube on the wingtip.

Rendegade, if you ever read this post:
The engine is mounted under an angle to have the exhaust under the fuselage, for that, the carburator is a little bit below the centreline of the tank, the venthole in the tank on spraybar level, evangelista Torricelly, to prevent the engine leaks fuel!
The ATTITUDE is as horizontal as possible to reduce the AOA, this plane nearly cannot taxi without being a lawn mower.
I do this to prevent stall after take off or nose over after touch down and reducing of drag.
The wheels are prepared to use the plane on wet grass.
