Not sure if anyone other than us Canadians will get the Red Green thing, but they should google him and see why we like him.I am going out to fly tomorrow in the mountains. I haven't got my sunshade for my S16 yet and last time could barely see the screen, so....
Red Green would be so proud!View attachment 15170

Nope, he wouldn't, you didn't use NEARLY enough duct tape, and there's not a chainsaw in sight ?. See, it's not just Canadians that savvy Red. Later.

We definitely get the Red Green thing here in Michigan but then again, we're practically Canadians.Not sure if anyone other than us Canadians will get the Red Green thing, but they should google him and see why we like him.
Duct tape makes good rope in a pinch too don't cha know eh?Michiganders have a yen for Uncle Red also! You can do most anything with enough Duct Tape and ingenuity. One of my favorite TV stations was from Windsor, Ontario.
Sorry for your loss Chuck.Ok, Tuesday got called off. I had a bad moment while fueling up my truck. I thought, I don't want to drive out to the mountains (90 min) alone, I'll take Mathew, my youngest Son. Well, it hit me about 2 seconds later that I forgot. Mathew passed away due to a car accident. They hit a moose. ? I just couldn't bring myself to spend that time by myself in the truck. Luckily, my daughter-in-law got called into work and needed me to watch our Granddaughter (20 months old). I am planning to go Saturday. Weather looks good. Might bring my eldest son to keep me company. If I make it I will post some pictures. Until then I hope everyone has a wonderful evening.
I am in the U.S. and know all about Red Green.Not sure if anyone other than us Canadians will get the Red Green thing, but they should google him and see why we like him.
Always love the Crowsnest Pass. We had a homestead there at one time.I finally got to go out to the Crowsnest Pass today with my loving wife. It seemed iffy as I drove out since as soon as I hit the mountains we had 60 KPH (40 MPH) winds with gusts. Deep Sigh. Jenny said "Lets just keep going and see what it's like there. The least is we can have a nice picnic and the dogs get a good run." With much trepidation, I continued out. After another 20 minutes I noticed that the wind seemed less, at least it wasn't pushing the truck around anymore. We drove until we found Allison Creek road and followed it to the Public Land Use Area. I got out my Anemometer and measured the wind 6 KPH with gusts up to 15 KPH at ground level. OK, lets do this. After 10 minutes of flying, I noticed that I lost GPS lock? I asked my wife if she knew anything about this and she said "Oh yes, there is a solar storm today." Now, I just drove 90 minutes to reach this area. I flew two batteries until suddenly the winds picked up strongly at 50 Metres (165 ft). Ok, losing GPS and strong winds. I know when I'm licked. I have far too much invested into my H to risk it. I landed, had lunch with my wife, looked at my dogs. Spaniel is supposed to be white with black. Now she is black with very little white. OK, lift the back seat. They can sit on the blanket. All in all I count any day I get one in the air a win. Plus, I spent a full day with my wife. I am putting all batteries into storage right now. Have to do this again just check the winds... closer next time. I shrunk the photos down to 650 KB from 4 MB. Have a great day all!
PS: My Red Green sunshade worked great!
