Cool video Rob! Looks like the water level on the Columbia is down and there's lots of bars to play on now.

Hey Rob,
Great video! You inspired me to go burn up some $$$ 100LL tomorrow. Nice wheel landings. A lot of people can't or won't even try a wheel landing.

Rob,nice video! :D Love how you keep the tailwheel up until the very end... That was really fun, you'll have to show me some of those sand bars you were landing on. I want to do that!!! I have next Tuesday and Wednesday off if you want to fly 8) I'll keep in touch.

I should be good for next Tuesday. Wednesday engine comes out. The problem with the bars I was flying over the rocks are bigger than they look and some whoop dee do's too. Sometimes the wind surfers or boaters are on the beach or close so that comes into play. I have landed there a few times. My favorite sand bar is down stream by Kelso and we could do any of these too, Day Break, Ceaders, Fly for Fun, Goheen, Cascade Locks, Lehman, Stargazer, Sandy River, Eagle Nest Ranch. All grass. I have permission to land from the owners too.

Cheers...Rob

Re: Horse Shoe dirt strip

Want to make the biggest and best low cost improvement in your engine's performance AND reliability AND economy... go see Klaus. Light Speed Ignition. 10% power boost, 10% reduction in fuel burn or better, adds an ignition system with no moving parts so you have two different operating systems for back-country backup.

No, wait... you got one of them certified type airplanes. Never mind, stick with the Nitrous
