Re: Nosara Adventure Hi all, This is a video from a landing at a friend's crop dusting field. I used less than1000 ft for both takeoff and landing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVC0-96lqOs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Re: Nosara Adventure Frank, I think we need to thank the Rockwell engineering team for those landings, these airplanes almost land themselves and the trailing link smooths out any imperfect commands we may give the bird. John, the very nice Aero Club we used to have at Runway 09 has been...

Re: Nosara Adventure Yes, totally true, nowhere to go if you have trouble on departure when taking off from 09. Plus the terrain raises in that direction.

Re: Nosara Adventure Another video from Costa Rica, this one is from Sunday September 1st, 2013. http://youtu.be/XhKhXBLvdAs Regards

Re: New Member I´ve never flown the 112, just 114s, but I would recommend going to the 114 for the extra power since you are plane big. I´m short, 5´10¨ and just 150 pounds, so you are almost twice me. I´ve flown with a 295 pounder, his brother was a 200 pounder, my son at 140 and me plus...

Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica yes, it has about 2,000 ft, and yes, elevator aft during both takeoff and landings, it wasn't a bad surface

Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica http://youtu.be/mBlfILpo2_Q this is the landing of today's flight... You can see we made it with good margin to spare. They do have a tree on final they need to get rid of. and this is the flyby prior to the...

Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica done, the 114 did a wonderful job getting in and out, what a great airplane this is. We had to leave the 185 there, the engine started to misbehave, we will fly back later during the week to recover it.

Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica Re: Advice for Beginer from Costa Rica funny... I came to Commander.org today to search for what's been posted on short field take offs and found this one when we met Jose "Larry" Larrabure, he didn't get a Commander, he got a 182 instead. But we became...

Re: Nosara Adventure thanks! You guys should come flying here, that would be too much fun!

Re: Nosara Adventure ahh.... I have some more but from the inside of the airplane, my user in YouTube is rcastillo114

Re: Nosara Adventure I guess you mean the autogiro flight, yes, that´s way too cool, I think I NEED to get one.

Hi guys: here are 2 videos from a flight last Thursday to Nosara, Costa Rica, in one, we are landing in the 114 and the other one is a landing in an autogiro (gyrocopter), super nice if you have not done it. Regards, http://youtu.be/NhSQdxiN30g http://youtu.be/PecBLhmvhJg

Re: SuperStream OK, Jim, makes all the sense. Thanks

Re: SuperStream Jim; just to clarify, the SuperStream STC may include the spars if ours are cracked? We are planning to inspect ours today or tomorrow, I´ve been waiting to dissamble until we have a final solution in perspective. So I think it´s about time now :-) For sure, put me in line for...
