I had to go get my flying fix yesterday. Most of the harvest is complete…maybe 1/4 of the corn is left.
The last picture is treated human sewage gushing out on the ground from the back of that tanker truck. I am surprised this is legal….next to the town…next to the lakes. I bet it isnt.

The first is my stairshop in the woods. The "hole" is from the 2004 tornado that destroyed my shop.
I love cruising at ten feet...going for miles. Here is a sequence taken just seconds apart as I am crossing one of our bean fields...going across the corn field low...and then cranking and bankin and getting out of there.

Pics are great as usual. Pretty sure that sewage dumping is violating a few laws.

So far no bidders!
Heres your chance, think about how you can add it to the bargin thread over in the tool folder! You just know that rez will have to go out and get one too.

John: I know about that SparrowHawk. The problem with it is it has a 2.2 Subaru engine in it. I can tell just by looking at the valve covers. It needs a 2.5 Subaru to be a real performer.
I have sold several gyros ....but E-bay is not the place.
I am working on a hobby project right now in my shop. I will be selling it at the end of December. Its a RAF2000....just like I had before.
I painted the cabin last night...its will sell like a hotcake.

Stan on those 45s turn you gotta be feeling some serious Gs. Maybe like those F-4s over Hanoi. Be careful with low flight...no error for mistakes. tony
Stinky: A 45 degree banked turn is only 1.4 G's. A 60 degree banked turn is 2 G's.
I know to be careful doing this stuff. I have done it since 1985 and have had 18 real engine outs....and not a scratch.
I am very careful. These machines are just awesome in manuevarability.

Nice pics. You're making me wish I could get a gyrocopter.
I'll bet that guy in the tanker truck didn't realize he was being photographed.
What about flying down closer to the truck to get good photo of their door decal and possibly license tag. If it's legal then no big deal. If it's illegal then you would be helping keep the ground water safe for your kids and yourself by turning the $#%^$^ S**B in to the authorities.
