Proof that **** happens.

I saw him fly it in that configuration twice a few years back at
Triple Tree in SC. The first time was great, the second time it
folded a wing over the runway doing slow rolls and went in.

In this video it's pretty clear the outboard left engine was failing
(at or near idle), and it just stalled and went in.

Mine's still tits up in the garage. Got to stop this camping **** and
get my airplane fixed up so I
can crash it again.

You can fly airplanes in the winter, camping, not so much.

True. Our last camping trip is scheduled for November. Last year we got
frozen out of it. We'll see
what this year brings.

Summer is a great time for flying because school's out. We use the big
playground behind a local
school.

In 2004 when I got this truck camper, we went to Yosemite in October.
Beautiful with the Aspens changing color. They had installed a group 24
battery when I bought the camper. Ran out of power to run the heater fan
early on. No hookups in the valley. So ice on the walls in the morning.
Upper Pines campground is colder than the Village, and was 23 in the
village. Last really cold camp out. Also have a better inverter/charger
and a group 30 battery now. And a Yamaha Ginny.

Which ginny, and how loud is it? I'm thinking of a Honda EU 2000, but they run $1000.

Yamaha 2000. My buddy who died of West Nile bought two. And the
interconnect kit. I bought one for the $950 he paid. Is about 50db
according to specs. Very similar to the Honda.

I have a truck that cost $45,000 and a camper that cost $10,000 in 2004.
What the heck is another $1000? 4 tanks of gas in the boat? 69 gallon
tank.
