Washing the plane

Recently I became interested in creating videos with Power Director software while starting to code a flight simulator version of the Garmin G3X instrument. Coincidentally, Dolly has a very nice camera tripod. I took it to airport and captured the following video on my iPhone.  Click on the photo below to watch the video on Youtube.

Flight Simulator Instrument Development

For two months I’ve been using spare time to code a Garmin G3X display instrument for the flight simulator community.

The G3X system is for both experimental and certified aircraft. It includes the GDU460, a ten inch touch screen multi page display shown above. Our plane (N50KB) has two on its instrument panel.

I have initially focused on coding the five engine instrument panels. Click on the image below to see a video of progress to date.

Twenty two seconds of our day

 

Today, Dolly packed a nice lunch for us to eat during our two hour kyack paddle on the Homosassa River. (Where’s the Advil???) I took a wrong turn and instead of going to the Springs went past several waterside restaurants. We decided our food would keep; paddled back to the rental dock; drove to a restaurant; and enjoyed “Chowda”, hush puppies, fried grouper and cokes. It was great!

Social distanced of course. The breeze was coming at us from the river.
