Ha, it is an orange tree orchard. Corn would be better for a crash landing and at least provide popcorn for the rescuers if fire was involved. Nobody likes hot orange juice. Dr. Z.

Zeigh on Short Approach

about 2 years ago
Thanks for watching. I used a hose clamp attached RAM mount as far up on the wing strut against the underside of the wing as possible for this shot. I also have a Cessna 150. There are ways to attach a camera further down the wing, but not without some form of modification for it to be safereliable. It just depends on how far you want to alter expensive aircraft parts. Then there is the whole FAA hurdle to be completely legal. Whatever you do, research it thoroughly There was a Red Bull stunt plane that crashed because of how a camera mount effected the aerodynamics at a critical point in flying.Blue Skies,Dr. Z.

I used various parts from RAM Mounts on the wing strut. It was very similar to the new items now found athttpvholdr.comcontourhdaccessoriesLook at option C. As for the camera cradle, I used this itemhttpwww.expressmounts.comrammountuchannelclampingbase1inchball.htmlIt offers just a little more flexibility in mounting than what the item VholdR is offering. Good luck

This is what is called a short approach landing in aviation. It focuses on maximum performance of the aircraft and precise control to land the plane in the shortest time possible. This is normally used for emergency situations, but a few air traffic c

Zeigh told a new story (over 2 years ago)

Here is just a little landing and takeoff practice. I started out with landing accuracy and then turned it into a procedure for takeoffs on short fields with big trees around it. This requires the plane to get into the air as soon as it can, fly just
