Some photos from the Gypsie Moth

[sixtiesrelic]

Here's a few photos I have "captured" from the video I took from the Gypsie Moth a couple of weeks ago.

 

Unfortunately I couldn't get "print screen" to work with Paintshop and landed up with a bunch of black pictures, so I ran the video again and snapped the computer screen with my still camera, so they aren't the clearest.

 

The other problem is, the screen is a wide one and the photos are wide.

 

I've squashed them in but it is a guess as to how far.

 

The wing strut Air Speed Indicator... accurate

The Captain on climb. Note how much rudder is used during climb. It's faired on cruise.

 

 

Looking along the wings to the Glasshouse Mountains. Note the angle if incidence of that top wing.

 

 

Looking at the exposed rockers.

 

 

Closer up of the whizzing rockers. You can see the ghosting of them going up and down

 

 

Checking in the turn,

 

 

Looking along the nose

 

 

Down wind passing the boat harbour. The slats never quite closed right up ... too slow.

 

 

Short Final.

 

 

Lots of rudder during landing mote the beaut exhaust pipe along the port side.

Lots of rudder during landing

Did you land on the grass or the paved runway?

Grass, because of the tail skid.
