Well, I can't top that last picture, no how, no way.
However, to be fair, I said I'd post a pic of myself looking goofy so here goes:

DJ....
The "Hat Cam" looks great.... but you're missing a GREAT opportunity.
You need to strap that thing on... and go visit your neighbor lady that was having a cat about your flying over her house!
That visit should push her right over the edge!

ohhhh man! that'd really get her going! I may be moving to a new house next month. If I do I'll make sure I get one last good flight in. Right into her back yard with the video rolling in her back window. ahhhhh haaaaaa haaaaaa!

DJ I was born in Fort Rucker.... All I can remember is the helis and all the army boots. I was young as well when we moved.
I knew you had some south in you!

Lyster Army Hospital??
LOL that one is great DJ When does the Carbon model go on sale ?
This one isn't mine, I don't have any pictures of mine on this computer. You can buy these things for about $400 w/o cameras and brackets.

Am I Crazy or are you flying a 1945 Taylorcraft BC-12D? I soloed one when I was 16 years old. My father is the pres. of the Tayorcraft Owners Club! Most of my hours are in a 1941 DC-65 Tandem T-Craft. Great video! I love the super results from a simple idea.

it's a 46 BC12-D ser. no. 6781 Manufactured January 1946. I see you're in Ohio. Home of the Tcraft! They are a joy to fly but finding parts is damn near impossible! I am in need of some Shinn brake shoes and can't find any airworthy ones anywhere... argh!!
What's your fathers name? Bruce?

He was my flight instructor! I must warn you, He is a hard nut, but has a great heart. He is one of the best instructors and pilots I know. Good luck with getting your break shoes and let me know if I can help. I talked to my father and He thinks he can point you in the right direction
Take care

I just noticed your name is DJ Vegh! Are you building a GN-1 aircamper? I am building a 1933 piet and was following your posts for a long time on your web site. although or two piets were slightly different, your site was priceless to me because of all your pics and info about your corvair mod. I now this sounds corney, But I am a big fan of your work! Are you still working on the piet or did you get rid of her?
Take care

You and I could be brothers! I saw your pieteinpol site a I too fly Senior Telemasters! I scratch build mine and put big bomb bays and glider saddles on them. After I fly them for a while I sell them for some profit and build another. It makes a fun winter project. I have built four of them since I was 16 years old.
Take care!
