I have a 2500' grass strip in Indiana, and I completely agree with Herb. The approach & departure corridor are more important to me. I have an open field to the north and powerlines on the south, so...

Just found out that my MLG actuator is leaking around the front o-rings. Any suggestions where to get it rebuilt? Also, does anyone else have two hydraulic pumps on their aircraft? I was surprised...

Herb,
Will that be a universal mount (for a RAM ball for example) or is that specific for the NFlight cam?

I used the strut mount and hose clamp that came with it to strap it to the beacon. If you look at the shadow on the aircraft while I'm turning base you can see it sticking out. I want to get a...

Here's another short clip taken with a HD170 Drift camera mounted on the tail.

Oh, and I just looked it up in my (1969) owner's manual, and on page 4-2 the table states "Maximum speed...Gear Extended - 140mph" Wonder why the difference between models?
