MB65E Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Awesome trip! I enjoyed listening to your dad! Love the video. Looks like you are the king of gadgets! Beautiful airplane my friend! Your rear window shades are neat. Are they linen or leather? Looks like they block a lot of light. Factory rails? -Matt Quote

midlifeflyer Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Enjoying the series. Couldn't help notice the mousepad camera mount. I have one too Quote
Rmag Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Posted February 4, 2019 @midlifeflyer it’s actually a GPS friction dash mount. The raised part is filled with something heavy like sand and the bottom has a rubberized texture so it won’t slide around on takeoff, etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B663TE/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote

MrRodgers Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 I just added Part 2: Eastbound to the original post Thoroughly enjoyed watching you and your dad share this experience. Really nice flying as well. You looked a little emotional at the end and rightly so. Couldn’t quite make out what your dad said at the end though. Thanks for posting. Great job!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Rmag Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Posted February 5, 2019 @MrRodgers I said, “Good Trip.” He replied, “More than good, it will never be repeated.” I think he meant it was a once in a lifetime adventure that could never be repeated. Even if we did it again, this trip was the first time he was flown across the country by me. In all my life, Dad was the one doing all the flying. Definately was one of our life highlights for the both of us. I think part of us were a bit sad that it was over. I was happy that we got to share this time. In our busy lives, A 7 day Trip with Dad doing something we both love is precious time invested. Doesn’t happen often. 6 1 Quote
nels Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Genuinely enjoyed your videos!! I wouldn’t be surprised if I watched them again. Quote

Doesn’t happen often.I’d love to do that with my dad but at 85 his health precludes a trip like that. Perhaps if he can comfortably get up and into my Mooney a nice flight around Palm Springs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

BKlott Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Great videos and, more importantly, great memories for you and your Dad! I was fortunate to get to fly a lot with my Dad. Besides the usual weekend flights, we took our plane to the 50th AirVenture at Oshkosh. The next year we flew to Dayton for the Centennial of Flight, visiting the Air Force Museum, Huffman’s Prairie, a Wright Bicycle Shop and other historical sites. Our last big trip together was to the Swift Fly-in in Creve Coeur, Mo. It was at an old time small airport with a museum on the field packed with vintage airplanes. We had a great time enjoying all the vintage airplanes. There were shorter day trips as well. No matter how many trips we took or how many hundreds of hours we flew together, now that he is gone I sure wish we had done more. What I wouldn’t give to go flying with Dad just one more time... 4 Quote
Dan208 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) What an awesome crosswind in Bear lake . You were 200 miles from my house . That road from the airport made me homesick. I have been out of town working. Love the second part as much as the first. Coming to the East coast In my own Mooney is on my bucket list for sure . My wife has Family in Maryland , so I hope to do alot of traveling with her . Cant wait . Thanks for the video . Edited February 18, 2019 by Dan208 Quote

One of my very few regrets in life is not having done even a damn thing with Papa Steingar before the Alzheimer’s took him away. I was about to make this same post. Dad died a couple of years ago at 94 and I really regret never having him fly with me. As a matter of fact I just wish I had done more with him period now that he's gone. 1 Quote
thomas1142 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 Thank you for sharing this. Quote
BrianNC Posted February 26, 2019 Report Posted February 26, 2019 @Rmag I noticed when taking the pics with your iPhone you held up a filter in front of the lens that looks like it's made for the GoPro to 'hide' the propellor blade. What filter is that, i'e., model or name and where do you get it? Thanks! Quote
Rmag Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Posted February 26, 2019 @BrianC I used https://www.polarprofilters.com/collections/gopro_hero6_accessories/products/gopro-karma-filter any Neutral desensity filter will do the trick. Quote

Which do you find you use the most? I can buy an 8, 16, or 32 individually for about $27. The one you use in the video looks pretty good. Really smooths it out. Quote
Rmag Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Posted March 3, 2019 @BrianC I use an 8 for cloudy day conditions, a 16 for mixed conditions or morning, late afternoon sunlight, and a 32 for bright mid day sun. An 8 can be used in all those conditions, just not as ideal for bright sun. But if only buying one, get an 8. Cheaper solutions also exist... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F193DFQ/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Quote
