Twisting and spinning all over I am not having fun so with that here’s what
Happened I was doing my usual wildness as I took off I tern over to my spotter
Jams Tailor and tell him hay my engine is not running right but caught in the
Moment and the crowed I did the unthinkable I put the plane in a bad
Position cussing it to stall then hit the wrong sw throwing in crow the engine
Did not have enough power to pull it out, I have done this many times
But always had the power to pull out, but not the case this time
So there you have it, If your not willing to lose a plane don’t fly it, we take a
Chance every time we fly.
By the way the JTEC 330L is repaired as of 5/08/07 maiden flight on
5/09/07 if weather permits what do you guys think the weight came in
The original was 42 lbs dry what do you think it is now? 43.65 lbs
Congrabulations Jose!

Yo Roberto, can you point me at something on the web I can download to convert dvd format to mpg, avi, wmf, etc? Something that can be posted to the video section or on a website?

I've got a good video of Jose huckin' the edge I'd like to put online.

Thanks,
Dave

Give this utility a try. It worked great for me! You can use the free "trial" version and then buy it if you like it.

OK...here's a poorly edited clip, about 10 mins long, of Jose' huckin' it like he hates it :-). It's my first attempt at video conversion from DVD, and I shot the video with a handheld camera...so it's a little shakey at times. The link is:

Way to huck, Jose!
