Snorkeling in Maui

[FishingGoalie]

Yeah, but if it ever came off would do a heck of a number banging on your wing and strut. I think I would rather sacrifice the camera... Do you fly?[/quote]

Ive never had it come off so i wouldnt know. The 3m material is quite strong with my go pro. Yes i fly cessna 172's and small canvas home made planes at my cottage. Been flying since i was 12 so almost 5 years now. Have you had a look at the new icon a5 there super cool

The icon a5 is a long ways from being an aircraft that people would buy. Looks cute, but not very practical, being a pusher and boat hull. Lots of similar sportplanes (the type that appear in Popular Mechanics or Science) that have failed to make it beyond the prototype phase, incl some car planes.
What "canvas home made plane" did you fly at your cottage? I also started off flying pusher ultralights at our cabin in the early 90s.. Lots of fun, but certainly have their limitations. I still have one that I fly for fun.

Did some boogie boarding in Maui, too. Lots of fun.... haha. Strapped my action cam to the side of my head.

Maybe it was Taskeko (camped there with the grizzlies).

CRS, hmmm?? You'll have to give me more clues,... what plane?. I know a lot of the pilots and planes at Langley.

Haha,... if it takes a jetliner 5 1/2 hours, would take me 4 times that long or more. Much cheaper (and safer) to buy a ticket... I like flying, but I know my limits... lol.

But yeah, Maui is our fav place. Keep trying other places, but nowhere else comes close.

They have a Challenger. They just got a RV-6A but it's sitting in a hangar in Salmon Arm and won't arrive in Langley until January
