Sneak Peek! ... Is THIS the new Quik MkIII Dashboard?



From the secret testing grounds near Wiltshire England come these un-verified photos of what appears to be the NEW dashboard arrangement for the P&M Quik MkIII. While we cannot reveal our source, it seems that the dash has grown taller, wider, and a bit more squared-off at the edges, so as to accommodate a full-sized GPS right below the FlyDat.

We will keep you informed as we know more...

Website of the Day - SportAviationCenter.com


Today's feature is Sport Aviation Center from Samanth Moore out of Carson City, NV. She has an extremely informative site, with information about her background, the process of obtaining flight instruction, and some clever multimedia. Looks like there is terrific geographic terrain for sightseeing as well, should one want to take a visit for fun or instruction. Her prices are all clearly available as well as further details about the packages she offers.

I noticed that in her video (below) she's using a bar-mounted switch box with at least three mini cameras. I'm not sure of her setup, so I hope she will join us and provide some details? It reminds me a bit of my multicamera setup that I used in the video Jitka's Big Adventure, which was four bullet cameras, a home made switcher and remote pan and tilt mechanism. See the whole rig HERE.

From her site:
Samantha Moore has been flying since 1981. She started hang gliding and
quickly became a recognized personality in the competition circles.
After placing in the top five in several international events, Samantha
began flying powered trikes. She became an instructor because she
wanted to share her love for flight with others.
