Try this experiment: Take a picture in landscape mode, with the button on the right. Then flip the iPad over so the button is on the left and take another picture . Then post both. One should be right side up and one should be upside down. Whichever side the button was on that gave you the right-side-up picture, continue using that method. |

Re: Beaver Fever in Southern Ontario Question for the admins? When you upload from a iPad why is it upside down? |

Re: Beaver Fever in Southern Ontario Hot day here in Moncton and decided to do a leak check on the floats. It didn't go so well, crap load of water in the floats. I epoxied everything inside so I am hoping the balsa didn't get to wet. I drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom of the floats to drain the water, thinking I may fill each cavity with spray foam and hopefully stop the leaks. Pretty sure water is coming in thru the retracts. |

Re: Beaver Fever in Southern Ontario Looks great Mike. Question: are you sure that nose gear comes up high enough to not interfere with the float operation on the water? In the up position, it looks like it would still be dragging in the water. |

Re: Beaver Fever in Southern Ontario Update. Got #2 and #3 flight on my beaver today at the Truro Warbird meet and each flight just keeps getting better. Lots of rudder required in the turns, I wonder if the Horizontal stab strakes would help that. Flaps are a pleasure to use, no surprises. put them down and let the nose drop and life is good. DA100 worked flawlessly, most of the flight was done at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. The Nose wheel steering also worked well. Next mission is to put it in the water and see how many leaks there are in the floats. |
