Oscar Avalle Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yesterday was a perfect day for flying! So I went out there and flew down to the beach. Some nice shots of my Panel in action and some volcanos (including one smoking...) Enjoy.... Oscar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It was a beautiful day Oscar. How long is your runway? Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks guys,...It is a beautiful country! I really enjoy making these videos. It gives a different flavor to the US$ 100 hamburger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 The runway is 3000 feet. It belongs to the flying club. They have a nice little hotel for clubmembers. Nice pool, food and friends to talk about airplanes. It was a beautiful day Oscar. How long is your runway? Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29-0363 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Really great! Can you share with us how you attached the camera to the fin and the belly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Really great! Can you share with us how you attached the camera to the fin and the belly? Sure, belly suction cup and on the Fin with one of Contours adhesive pads... I know... flutter etc. First I flew only with the pad around the pattern and then with the camera. No problem. I got the idea from a Cirrus guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marauder Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 You get an Oscar, Oscar! Thanks for sharing! Can really see why the Aspen ESV would be important to you. Love the layout of your panel, looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 You get an Oscar, Oscar! Thanks for sharing! Can really see why the Aspen ESV would be important to you. Love the layout of your panel, looks great! Jajaja, you guys are the ones who appreciate the videos...My wife asked me the other day: "why do you put a camera on the belly of the airplane? It ruins the view...." Yes, the ESV is important. It allows you to plan ahead in an area where the mountains (the volcanoes) you see in the video go up to more than 10k and you need to navigate around them (it is not advisable to fly over them because of the ashes). Haze is also a BIG factor around here and visibility goes down to under 3 miles rather often and without good radar coverage.I can tell you having the ESV and the terrain option visible on the Garmins lowers your blood pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks for the wonderful video. I was a tourist in Guatemala last year for a destination wedding - a young man who I helped mentor in aviation. He is now a 1st Lt in the U. S. National Guard, flying C130s. Your video brought back memories of your beautiful country. I really like what you have done with your panel. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Avalle Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah, it is a great country, unfortunately I am just posted here...so it is not mine.... Regarding the Panel, it was done here... with FAA 337 approval.. Thanks for the wonderful video.

Jeff_S Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not to throw water on a sizzling party or anything, but I have read in two different places recently that it is absolutely forbidden to mount an external camera on a certificated aircraft without a full 337 and FSDO compliance. Granted, Oscar may not care about such things in Guatemala, but I wanted to point this out and see if anybody here in the US has heard the same thing, or can refute this. Anybody?

Oscar Avalle Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well, I talked to the local FAA and received a permit based on my temporary registration in guatemala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
