    Great Video and an awesome place to fly. I have got to get down there this year and experience it for myself. Thanks for the post.

  • Rick D

    Thanks Baydo! C'mon down, the landscapes are truly spectacular.

  • white eagle

    Awesome rick ,another spectacular video. I still cant see video on A/T for some reason, but i still cam guess at my comment!

  • Leo

  • Rick D

    Thanks David & Leo! Was saving that tune for a flight like that. :]

    White Eagle, I can't see video on A/T either. I thought it was just me. Using an iPad. If you come up a cure, let me know. Thanks. BTW: Talked to Kamron today. For the Chelan fly-in, he's recommending late August, early September because the weather is historically much better for flying then.

    See youtube...

    Error processing the video

    Thanks charlie ill look in to it. I think admin has been trying to get it fixed.

    Walt.  I spent quite a bit of time with tom yesterday. Between jeff  from the airport board tom , myself we were tentively working out the dates for 07- 27 thru 08-03. We both have flown that aera alot in july and august. Tom is talking with kameron today to finalize a date. We got the camping issue worked out for the airport and there is still some questions to hanger space that we will need in case of bad weather.  I think one of the problems moving it into sept is that it will interfere with the hawthorn fly in. Some have mentioned just moving the fly in back to polsen montana. We will know more and i will post the dates in a day or so.Many of the elk river flyers are seasoned pilots acustomed to bumpy air. As the chelan canyon winds ,convection can be rough in july and august.the rotors off the bluff to the south and the rotors behind the mole.less exsperienced pilots will just have to be cautious of conditions if held in july or august. I think kameron and tom are going to have the last word and i will post it up here and tps as soon as it is finalized.Every year we have atracted different flyers with different skills.This is a non sactioned fly in so every pilot has to make a discision weather they have the skills to fly weather permiting. The real attraction to this fly in has always been a chance for friends to get together. Everyones input is valuable so if we have to move it up to a latter date or different location we will.I,ll post the final decission as soon as tom gets done with kameron.

    Excellent!

  • Garrett Speeter

    Cool video!

    those Mustang wings have real nice handeling. 

     

  • Rick D

    Thanks Joz and Garrett! The single surface does allow for slower speeds and tighter turns. Great for the canyons.

  • Wile E Scott

    Great vid man! You got this nailed. Really cool shots and angles. I'm taking notes.

     

  • Rick D

    Thanks Wile, appreciate the compliments!

  • Dean Coleman

  • Happy Triker

    I just can't make a movie like yours, Rick. Some people called me "Henry Jet Stream" nowadays.

    Hey Rick as I commented on your YouTube channel this is a great one. I really think that outlaws tune fits well with that video. Dave I also have the same problem with my Android not being able to see YouTube videos posted on all trikes. However I can see them on my laptop with a Firefox browser. Interestingly enough it appears that I can see videos with links that reference Vimeo on my android so it seems there is some sort of glitch with all trikes presenting a YouTube video link. In any case if admin is going to try to make some changes to all trikes I would be willing to do some testing to make sure it works on my android. But Dave in the case of Rick's videos all you have to do is go to youtube and search for Rick Deigsler and all his many fine videos will appear.

  • ULtrikepilot

    Hey Rick I forgot to mention if that is what the terrain and countryside looks like around hurricane then I think many might be interested in participating in a fly-in there if you decide to host one. Certainly looks like a beautiful area to fly.

  • white eagle

    @Joe - Thank you man! Will let you know if there is enough interest for a fly-in.
