Good afternoon Rick... I'm glad you're getting at least a few good tips from the videos, that's why I began them... I'm also glad you're on this forum... if you go to 'member map' in the top bar & zoom in you can get a start of other members in your aera (I attached a pix of what I just found)... You can send messages to them via this forum (I have ran into some that are no longer active or VERY delayed in response)  Also I'd join the 'Legal Eagle Ultralight' Facebook group & ask there if anyone is near you... And finally, I'd try & find an EAA chapter near ya - even if there's no LE guys in the group, you'll still get great insite... And always feel free to reach out to me...

Thank you Pappy! This forum is great . . . looks like I should start exploring it more.  I'll reach out the the PA folks when ready.

I am a new EAA member and there is a local near by with one builder. Thanks.

I noticed a Quadlock mount in one of your pictures.  That is what I use.  They also have a vibration dampner mount for motorcycles.  Someone wrote someplace that vibration can damage your camera, so I use the dampner.  Also since I fly certified aircraft and use ADS-b, the software I settled on is 'iFly EFB'.  Not free but does most everything a pilot may want yet can be simple too.

My plans are to fly the Sportsman 2+0 (used to be 2+2 but I removed the back seats) from KPDX area to KOSH.  See you there.
