      I would NEVER call the police unless I REALLY wanted the person that I called the cop on dead ( which would be never ) I used to be super trusting of police and have a lot of respect for them probably around 15 years ago, but with all this BS with Qualified Immunity and the fact that they will do basically ANYTHING to give you a ticket or arrest you just to get money for the state AND they can legally lie to you ( which I think is total BS, if you ask a cop a question they should not be allowed to lie to you, obviously there would be SUPER rare exceptions like under cover ). Its just all these things police do makes me not trust them, like when you get pulled over by law they SHOULD have to be like "hi my name is X with X department, the reason I pulled you over is X, can I see your license proof of insurance and registration?" instead of just "I'm X with x, license, registration and proof of insurance!" and if you ask "why am I being pulled over?" they say "I will tell you that in a minute, License, registration and proof of insurance!" that to me is total BS and if you go like "I will give you what you ask for if you tell me why I was pulled over" and then they threaten you with jail time if you don't give in to their demand, instead of just being like "yeah I pulled you over because you were doing X". I do not trust any police officer at all, like I will trust a used car salesman way before a police officer, I mean I will still treat them with respect like I would with any human and not treat them like crap, basically NEVER call the police, and never talk to the police, just give them what is required then just state you are invoking your right to stay silent, because their job is basically to nitpick ANYTHING you say to use it against you to write a ticket or arrest you and they WILL twist ANYTHING you say to do just that.

    Orlando pilot here...Florida gets a lot of pop-up thunderstorms and sea-breeze storms on the peninsula from the east and west coast breezes colliding in the middle of the state. Any of these storms, or even developing future storms, can develop an outflow or inflow straight-line wind that can extend 20+ miles from the actual storm. If the outflow is onshore and blows out to sea and you fly into it, you would experience exactly what you described.
    As for the cops, when they pull crap like this, demand a supervisor come to the scene. In Florida, they must call for a supervisor if you demand one. 9/10 the supervisor will end a tyrant cops attack on your rights. That 10th time, find an attorney and hold them accountable. No law, no crime. Not posted, they cannot enforce such a 'rule' or 'policy.' Not sure about other states, but this is the situation in Florida.

    Former cop here… dude was totally overreacting. If there’s a “no flying” rule in the park it has to be posted.
    And then all he can do is make you leave. He can’t arrest you, unless he says “no flying” and then bans you, and you subsequently come back and fly anyway.
    I would be willing to bet this is how the behind-the-scenes conversation went, though:
    Park manager calls the Chief of Police and blesses him out about “those dang flyboys in the park yet again! why won’t you stop them!”
    Then the police chief calls the lieutenant and says “get your officers down there and get the flying guys out of the park.”
    Crap rolls downhill and that beat cop catches it all, so he’s pissed before he arrives knowing it’s a BS call. All he wants to do is go catch some underage drinkers or something on the beach, but he’s getting fussed at about “these same guys that are always in the park.”
    That’s how that sort of stuff happens…

      Except SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that cops need and will get “breathing room to make reasonable but mistaken judgments about open legal questions.” Which is to say that burden is on the suspect to prove the cop was wrong or else its an "oopsie made a mistake lolz". Combine that with the fact that on scene, cops are god and given extremely wide latitude to handle this and you have a good recipe for a very bad day.
      Yeah the arrest won't hold but you'll still get arrested. Which as LEO, you know all of this to be true.

    You encountered a ‘shear’ of convergent winds colliding and creating unstable lifting air. Flying coastal sites in a hang glider - we actively seek those shears. They take us well above ridge lift. They can be seen on the wave tops (look for lines of white where the winds are lining up the crests). Shears don’t always have to be on-shore, off-shore direction, they can be aligned differently. Typically created by stronger flows of air moving into more stagnant airflow. They don’t happen regularly but sometimes can be predicted when there is little to no wind on the coast, then a rather quick freshening of wind coming on-shore (again, looking for those wave crests well off-shore).

In that case, they would confiscate your paramotor and wing for evidence. They would hold it until you go to court. You may not get it back for over a week or more You could get fined, who knows. You wouldn't get your paramotor back until the fine is paid. Just maintain and don't push it with the officer. Go somewhere else or shut it down for a day.

      You say you want to fight for your rights. I think that is great. If you engaged the officer into a screaming match what would you win? What would you have lost? Sometime it isn't worth the fight and move on. Yes, file a grievance. One cannot say arguing with the officer about flying out of that area is going to get you anywhere but cuffs. File a grievance with the FAA. If any of you were arrested, I don't know how lenient the FAA would be.
      Go to the PD and find out what's right or wrong. At least you will have your answer. People can sit and stew over this but that would not be productive. I don't believe this officer is violating your rights. He just told you to leave. Yes he incorporated being in handcuffs and I do believe that is wrong and threatening. Again, so be it. At least you can fly another day instead of the PD impounding your paramotor until you go to court which could be longer than a month until you get to your court date. It just isn't worth it.

    For your header elbow to form oxides in colors, it depends on the header materials and exhaust gas temps. Higher temps (running lean or higher rpm without cooling) cause oxides to form at different rates when reacting with various atmospheric gasses. You could try leaning the motor out slightly and/or running without prop. I imagine the prop pulls enough air over the elbow to provide some decent cooling.

    A couple of things regarding the LEO contact. The SCOTUS (Supreme Courte of the United States) has ruled that law enforcement may be dishonest with members of the public in pursuit of their goals, whatever they may be. In this case, the cop "threatening" to place you in a cage and take your freedom away from you was a bold faced lie in order to get you to do what he wanted you to do (and completely within the law and his authority). They do this all the time and it is indeed very slimy of them to be this way. Basically, if a cop is talking to you and saying things like "you can't be here, you need to leave, you will be arrested if you don't leave," etc, they are most likely not being truthful. They can tell you that this is private property and you are trespassing and you're about to get arrested for it when NONE OF THAT IS TRUE (for example you're standing in a public park).
    Most LEOs are on power trips their entire shift...every day.

Such as "hey this guy says you pulled a gun on him" or " we have you on video smashing this car's window". They cannot lie as to the law itself. So they can't say this act is legal, tell you do such act, and then arrest you for doing such act, or detain, threaten to arrest you, unless they have the lawful authority to do so. Which would be dictated by the actual facts involved, rising to some level of criminal action(reasonable suspicion and/or probable cause). Not to say they won't do this. Most cops have a very poor education in regards to what the law actually is. But this is where the courts get to educate them.

    There are always wind boundaries converging at where land masses meet large bodies of water. While they do their own mesoscale thing, they get impacted by more synoptic weather systems.
    As you probably know, the afternoon onshore breeze is a result of rising warm air over land, creating a localized trough of low pressure. The cooler air over the ocean (or Great Lake) moves inland to replace that air. That air is in turn replaced by the air that has risen, cooled and is now sinking. You get this whole convective loop situation going, oftentimes at a low enough level that it all happens below the altitude where you get the normal cloud development you'd expect to see with rising thermals (note on certain days how all the cumulus clouds just disappear within a couple miles of the shoreline). This whole onshore-offshore circulation can be anywhere from a couple to tens of miles wide.
    The whole thing gets further complicated on yet an even smaller scale by a more intense thermal rise off of a large, broad beach that introduces even more localized turbulence. Throw in an approaching weather system and the whole thing becomes a real confused mess.
    It looked like a really neat flight, and it's too bad you had to deal with some really sketchy air, and a rather unprofessionally behaving cop to top it off. The shoreline is a neat place to fly, but you really have to keep your head on a swivel with all of the other lower altitude air traffic of various modes that seems to be loitering there. Having to contend with both can make for a bit of stressful and frustrating flight.
    Looking forward to seeing more of what you managed to recover.

    I'm in Salt Lake at Super Fly right now starting class soon. Maybe take a look at flying around Missoula or Kalispell? Goregous up there with the Mountains and I live up there too.

    We see a similar weather thing sometimes where I fly, a few miles inland from the beach. Thermals pick up inland during the day, drawing cooler air in from the ocean (seabreeze) at lower levels. We'll have a SSW wind at beach level due to that pull, but higher up the prevailing winds are still blowing NW or whatever. As the sun goes down, there is a sheer layer between the seabreeze and the predominant wind that gets that gets lower and lower until the seabreeze dies. The effect looks similar on Windy to what you were seeing, convergence at some altitude running along the coast and not far from it. I haven't seen it get that severe personally though. Here, the seabreeze doesn't usually develop unless the prredominant wind is fairly light.

      I was about to say exactly this. With an offshore breeze of up to about 15mph and good convection inland you are likely to get a Sea Breeze as described above with an associated shear layer and turbulence. Also at some point the offshore wind will be forced back by the onshore wind caused by the convective low pressure inland and you'll likely also find turbulence at this time. I witnessed many such 180 degree shifts whilst paragliding on the South Downs, UK. Some were damn scary going from 10mph on the hill to 30mph over the back of the hill! Fortunately most of us were on the ground by that point but the more skilled XC Pilots would time their launch to perfection and sky out on the Sea Breeze Front, not a task for the faint-hearted! Twice I landed on the hill in the opposite direction to which I'd launched 😮. On the upside the SB often provided excellent cliff soaring conditions and 'The Brighton Run' would be on. Them were the days 😊

    Ever since moving to the updated 50hr exhaust bushing design, I've been struggling immensely to get those off when it's time to swap. I'm always worried that too much hammering and prying on that will slightly bend the mount and lead to leakage out of the cylinder head. I've been sanding down the mating surface before reassembly in hopes of ensuring a good seal. So far no leaks.

    • @asm_nop
      @asm_nop Před 14 dny

      Graphite powder is sometimes used as a dry lubricant. It's cheap, readily available, and heat tolerant. A small amount on the mating surface might help keep it from getting stuck?

    For the exhaust coloring, I forget what it is, but if you lean out or richen your fuel mixture that will get it to turn those cool colors. Look up how to do it for your motorcycle. Same principle.

    Lost footage could still be recovered if you don't override it with other data. Deletion would usually simply remove the file from allocation table (sort of an "address book" on your storage medium), but it might still have the data itself that has been marked as "available space". There are plenty of recovery tools that could restore the entry in the allocation table and make the data accessible again.

That footage of flying along the beach with the sunset and the buildings is beautiful! And that Copper Mine footage, thank you again for capturing that epic footage!

    Regarding the wind anomaly, I'm reminded of a hang glider flight where I reached 1000 feet ASL at a site that normally has a maximum height for my setup of around a third of that. It's a small coastal site facing NE. On this fine sunny day day, the wind was normal at launch but within about half an hour I found myself topping-out at 1000 feet looking across to the other bewildered hg pilots flying either side of me. Everyone but me that day took that extra height to fly up the coast and land a few kilometres further north but I decided to hang out above launch. One one of my passes I noticed unusually rough air, thought wft? pulled on speed and then the full 'washing machine' really kicked in! It was quick decision time. I checked my height, I had 800 feet on the vario and considered flying to the next beach away from the unknow source of the turbulence but quickly decided the distance to that LZ was too far away, and that the next safest bet was the landing on the beach directly below me. My main thought was, "Get out of this rough air now!" I very quickly decided to do a wide high speed arc out over the water to lose height, while judging my position and descent for a spot on the beach. The whole time during that spiral arc the air was rougher than I'd ever know in front of a hill. I landed a little ungainly but well on the beach. In discussions afterwards, we all agreed that a bubble of still air had created an invisible air-bubble hill in front of the actual hill that was held there by the higher ride several kilometres back from the coast and that we were flying in the ridge-lift produced at the front of that invisible bubble a air. Could your wind anomaly have been cased by a similar effect, I wonder.

    So, onshore/offshore convergence is a very real thing and it is mentioned in USPPA materials, PPG bible, and many paragliding books. The imagery in your shot of windy here looks like you were right in the convergence zone. Definitely always triple check winds before beach flying! Especially mid-afternoon when the seabreeze is losing its power, and offshore flow picks up. Lots of times I have stayed on the ground and kited until closer to sunset when things calm down.

    @TuckerGott if you are using windows, and you want to restore a folder that you accidently deleted you can actually right click the folder that it was in, and choose "show more options" and then choose "Restore previous versions" you may actually be able to restore that footage. Just an idea if you are utilizing windows.

    YES Prior Restraint is a Rights violation. They make a threat of arrest for something you're allowed to do or protected in doing like speech or recording in public. Also there's other Rights violations like detaining you without lawful authority. For example they're REQUIRED by law to have a law or ordinance violation BEFORE they detain you. They need a reason more than just cuz they want to detain you. Or they force you to identify when you aren't actually required. But they say they will arrest you if you don't identify. That would be a 4th Amend violation.
    I just made a vid describing Officer Suspicion requirements explained from a Federal Judge
    Also if you FEEL detained or a reasonable person would feel detained. Like cop says come talk to me...that most would consider detained. BUT VERIFY by asking...the smarter ones will try to deny answering. But state if I'm not detained then I'm going this way over here. The cop will make it known real quick. But they're trained to always ask first...most will phrase it as a request cuz it works in their favor if it goes sideways.

    Had the same problem with my bronze bushing. They changed them in MY20 and are a lot thicker. It still looked new after 50hrs, so I waited until 100hrs. Even then, it still looked great. But, I had a new one and thought it would be no big deal to swap it. It involved a Dremel and a handful of swear words. It still looked like it had a lot of wear left! I’m not changing this new one until it is obviously used up.

    Clear Air Turbulence caused by wind shear. You get these formations of air that are like horizontal funnels. You see the same thing in water when the surf is really curling. Air is just a much less viscous fluid.

    There is another dynamic at play here: there is a tremendous concentration of influential and wealthy people in a narrow radius within the surrounding areas of Miami: Key Biscayne, Fisher Island, Star/Palm/Hibiscus Islands, Miami Beach, all the way to the north (Indian Creek, North Bay, etc). People who are overly paranoid about security or noise are likely putting pressure on local police regarding paramotors. Of course, it doesn't make any of it wrong or illegal, that's the point of public spaces, but I wouldn't be surprised if that cop is just caught in the middle.
