Sport Pilot Talk

Finally got a chance to go up and shoot some video with Karen's new iPhone 4S:

Does a pretty good job. There is some weird "shimmering" artifact, probably from the image stabilizing. Mostly noticeable on initial climbout, for some reason. Plus, bear in mind this was all shot through the canopy and handheld. But for a phone, its still pretty amazing.

One really cool thing is that we have an Apple TV hooked up to a 47" LCD TV, and can stream the video direct from the phone to the TV - and it is amazingly sharp and detailed. The below image doesn't come near to capturing the quality, but you get the idea...

Good grief, Eddie, that stall horn in turns sounds really worrysome. How close are you to the accelerated stall? Thought about installing an AoA indicator?

The stall horn is a Cessna part and not adjustable.

If you look at the airspeed indicator when the horn sounds, I'm often 15k+ above stall speed. Makes it annoying, but only dangerous if it led me to ignore it. Which I kinda do, I guess.

Re:AOA indicator...I'm trying to keep things simple, and approaching at about 55k when the full flap stall speed is 39k really gives me plenty of margin.
