It was a beautiful morning, not wind, clouds high overhead and down low floating around, dew on the grass and temps in the low to mid 70’s. This is what flying a Legal Eagle is all about. I love how LEXL SR 7-1/2 handle, very responsive and easy to move around in the sky. Wish the chase cam was with us today, but maybe next time.

This what flying a Legal Eagle is all about.
Beautiful morning with low clouds floating about and temps in low to mid 70’s, dew on the grass and wind sock hanging limp. Time to air time in Legal Eagle XL SR 7-1/2 with the Verner 3V 3 cylinder radial.
Nothing like a 3 cylinder radial warming up in the morning
Silencing exhaust sounds a bit, study to find out what is possible without adding much weight.
Over the years I have tried several options, First one was the exhaust tips used on a VW engine exhaust on each end of my 1/2Vw engine. Worked great except they clog up and HP goes to slightly north of zero. This test shows using two can mufflers, from Tractor and aircraft supply, reduces sound by about 6 dBa which is about 50% reduction, with a total weight add of approximately 3 pounds, by the time exhaust pipe stabilizers are added.
Tires on Black Max wheels
The 2 ply rated 4:00 x 6 tires that come with the Black Max wheels are very light but tires are not made very good. The wires will come out of beed if to much pressure in tire and or if they get bounced hard on landing. Almost impossible to use tubeless. I use self sealing tubes, small stickers will penetrate tires. The 4 ply tires are a bit better but on hard surfaces do not last long before wearing thin

Basic Editing with Gopro Studio.
Using Gopro Studio for basic editing needs. I do not believe this program is supported by Gopro at this time but if using older Gopro cameras is an option for basic editing needs, it is simple to use and is quick for editing.
Basics of using Wondershare Filmora Video processing software
This is what I had intended to present during the Red Barn Forum but i made a mistake and thought my Forum was at 1;00 and it was at 11:30 so i was not prepared. This should present the basics of using Wondershare Filmora and as time goes by I will have one on Gopro Studio and another on Pinnacle Studio. Should also have one on Windows movie maker in near future. Let me know if additonal questions or comments.
Setting under the wing or Legal Eagle XL ORV on a Thursday afternoon when everyone has left and the crowds are watching the air show.
I love to talk to people and learn new things, the very best is helping someone get excited and learn something that fuels their passion for flying or building. I learned almost everything the hard way and passing it on to others so maybe they can get a jump start is my passion. I love the see the spark in their eyes and hear the passion in there words. Oshkosh is a land of I can do, not poor me. and I love it, why cannot the rest of year be like this.
