RV Ride
Today I had the opportunity to give local RV builder Doug M. a ride. Doug has been working on his RV-6 for 18 years!! Talk about commitment. He's currently working on the canopy frame. Anyway, he's only been in an RV-4, so it was time to get him in the air and behind the stick a bit. We left Ottawa and just flew around the countryside circling over some property he has. We finished off with a circle around my house to say Hi to Sandi.
With the new 496 I can capture flight data. I downloaded the data into MapSource from the Garmin and then saved it out in a .gpx format, then used the GPS Visualizer website to create a Google Earth .kmz file. Below is a picture of the result. Very cool!

Did Doug M. ever build that runway at his place that he was planning?
I wasn't aware he was planning on a runway at his place.. will have to ask him.
