I'm actually hoping to make some vids both to explain a lot of the things i
do and try and show people WHY I fly by general aviation.


Brent,

Your reason is my exact reason for creating videos of my flying and
WHY I rather fly GA from convienence to the "room with the view".

My channel contains the basics from VFR air work (stalls and falls),
emergency descent procedure I learned in my Sundowner to the
complexities of light gun work, instrument approaches down to minimums
and just plain having fun "cloud surfing" and playing in the canyons
of cumulus fields under IFR clearances. Many of these I have posted
in these newsgroups in the past.

To answer your question, like Chris, I did a video of my camera /
audio setup that you can see at

A little less complex then Chris's but worked for me :-) since my
focus of my time was to fly a plane. Chris's setup will pay big time
dividends when he begins his IA training as compared to my setup.

Ever since I started watching BeechSundowner's videos I wanted to do
them too so when I started my training I asked my instructor if she
minded and she didn't which was great. I am always trying to figure out
good setups and how to do it on the cheap. I would rather put the money
into flying than a $500 camera setup. Maybe after I have my ticket I
will sell off and upgrade my setup.
I am really looking forward to continued flight lessons and getting my
instrument one day too. Ill probably fly for a year and then start it.

Cheers,
Chris
