So somehow John Taylor managed to get a glider for $50 on ebay and as it turns out it was really a steal. He flew his new RAM air today for the first time after driving to Santa Barbara to pick it up from some guy who got it from a tow truck driver... The story goes on, but as it turns out John got himself a sweet new ride for the coast. 
I spent the other evening downloading a firmware hack for my Canon G9 camera so that I could do more wing mounted shots and make use of other features not presented by Canon. The hack is on Wiki called CDHK and has tons of great uses for Canon powershot cameras. The next project is to convert a wireless doorbell into a usb remote for the camera. I've got the parts laid out just have to set aside one more evening to finish it up. The wingmount worked out great and I ended up with around 100 pictures to sift through from this evening's flight. Great fun out there today!
