Thanks for the photos David. The use of the foam as a dampener within the "springs" certainly was an inspiration. I'm going to have to play around and see if I can fashion something similar for both my GoPro cams and my digital HD video camera.

Hi Alan,
I don't have any further incentives for J & J, but I promised myself an electric starter & battery (instead of the Rotax 503 Pull-start) if I could lose at least the weight of the package (11 Kgs). So I made the goal 15Kgs ... and I certainly noticed the change in (increased) amount of lift and climb rate!

Either way Rocksfly, I enjoyed the vid, (and the skill shown) - I have only had that "occur" to me once, when a freak nose-wind gust pulled me up with no roll.
Jake, I use the Aldi skiboarders protective helmet with the earflaps removed - fits beautifully around my ANR Headset earcups! (And only $20 each!)

Thanks Ian, for your decision and action. (I was thinking maybe I should request that a thread have a "Never bother to tell me about updates to this thread" function so I could use it for all the politically-based content recently)
Well done!
Peter
I understand, GDL. I have a qualification in Training and Assessment, but I must possess any qualification that I intend to assess. (BTW it will not, of course, allow me to conduct flight training ...)
Peter
Better start working out how you are going to handle that one ... as PIC you'll ultimately be responsible for which passenger flies! (Glad it's you and not me! )
