 The Members Hanger

UPDATED 10/17/07

Here is where our members show off their pride and joy!

Check out member Bill Peters website. He has some great
videos of our flying field taken from his Hanger 9 Taylorcraft as
well as some nice pictures of his planes and engines.  The videos
were taken using a wireless video camera from DragonFly. According to
Bill all you do is double side tape the components to the leading or trailing
edge of the wing and hook up the camcorder to the receiver.  He used 
Pinnicle Studio 8 to compress and edit the raw video.  Bill states the
 range is about 1200 feet. Below is a picture of the components.
