Finally got up today Tested out new gear: Helmet, Lights, Reserve Fuel system, Cockpit adjustable Trim, GoPro Hero 11 and Insta360 X3 Now let's go fly!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m also Ramapo Valley UL Club alumni from back in 98.. Sam Briseno had trained me. I no longer fly.. I spend all my money on snowboarding trips these days.. I decided to digitize some old VHS tapes from days and flights at Shawanga Valley Airport and what memory’s I must say.. it’s great to see alumni here on TH-cam….. what timeframe did you train at RVUC.. you remember Sam, George Roscoe, and Joe Acoveno? They were all great guys.
I only know Joe since he's the one I bought this plane from. They were all getting ready to hang it up right before I joined. I managed to put her together and start hops before everyone went their separate ways. They ensured me I was doing everything the safe way. There is still one guy, Dan, who has a white challenger I flew with a few times to Randall and Kobelt airports. I missed the days when everyone was flying, but now it's just me flying out of w Wurtsboro.
Love the colours, just had mine redone couple months ago in similar black and green but yours looks way better. I couldn't see from the video but did you close the gaps between your control surfaces?
I painted my sails twice already lol. Latex acrylic exterior house paint. It helps protect against the UV rays I think better than any spray. But I'm not as experienced so I could be wrong. The control surfaces have a velcro strip between the ailerons and the wings. The tail has gaps in the control surfaces.
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot so you have to do them before the cable is finished/looped on the end. Man they look killer! I just love the color combo on your sails, looks really good
You mean the rock guard? That one is really old I just got a new one I'm about to put on. The cable wraps are like straws with a slit down the side so you can slide them over the cables. I just painted the sails again this past winter Jet black and Tennis ball Green.

What did you do to Change the color of your cables? Heat shrink?
Ahh the first person to ask. They are used for bicycle spokes. I found em on Temu
