Loading Legal Eagle XL into trailer
« on: May 19, 2015, 06:22:23 AM »
For those of you wondering if i can take my pane apart and move it to/from airport here is a time lapse video of me taking mine apart for next adventure, Monument Valley Utah.



For those wondering if a Legal Eagle will fly at higher field elevations long about this weekend we will find out Monument Valley field elevation is 5,200 feet with length of 3,400.  

If interested will be posting travels and pictures on my blog at    Legal Eagle Ultralight Flying Adventures

Les,

You have it down to a tee. Nice to show how one person can tear down and load by your self.
Have a great week.

Les, wore me out watching.  How many miles do you walk during that process?  Clearly a well worked-out method.

When we had LEU Treehugger flying, I decided one nice day to go for an altitude record.  Our field is about 750 ft MSL, and I climbed and climbed, finally reaching about 1800 MSL, only about 1000' above ground.  That was all she had.  Old girl was definitely over-weight and underpowered, and I was a challenging load.  I think our light-weight guy, about 75 lbs lighter than me, could have broken that record easily.

I know you will do better.  Have a great weekend.

Cameras all have 64GB cards except heros. They have 32GB. Have a 2 TB hard drive to back them up to to get more video
