If you want to keep the pics and you run windoze, hit print/scrn (next to F12 on right) open paint, press ctrl-V and save as. Wile in paint, or open again in paint and crop the pic   Linux and mac prolly have a screenshot system too, but I don't know them.....Nice photos.....

. MadMuz ... maybe you know a better way .... when I want to post a picture I first have to save it to "my pictures" on the computer and then upload it here Is there a shortcut ? I end up with a lot of pics on my computer that I will never need again , and I find it a pain to go back and remove them from my computer . |

I don't know of any short cut Arnie, I just save them to post them, make a file on your computer for downloaded pics and just go thru amd delete what you don't want... maybe others know of a better way.... hopefully they will chime in

There is a easy simple way to get rid of the ones you want to delete and keep the ones you do want. |

They are definitely certain that the good ol'  rotax will never stop when it shouldn't  I wouldn't be game to fly over water like they do, as well as some of the tiger country they fly over...definitely big kahunas ..... nice photos

Muz, I don't know why ppl are so leary of two strokes......I have had shit loads of dirtbikes, street bikes and all kinds of two stroke powered stuff. Sure I toasted a couple of engines...flogging the shit out of them racing and bad jetting but never from just normal use. But other then that I have no issues with the reliability. I am a factory cert. motorcycle mechanic so maybe knowing the internals of a motor and can picture in my mind what an uncertain or strange noise is and can act accordingly helps. I plan to fly my 532 and 670 where ever I need to go and just maybe put some water detection floatation devices inside the cross member tubing that will pop out the ends and keep my gyro from sinking to the bottom of a lake, swamp or ocean for retrieval. I can swim and gators and the like don't usually attack ppl unless I am unconscious or drown and float to the top later.........in this case who cares what happens to me. But my gyro....on no got to save it from the deep dark waters. Everything dries out or can be repaired.

I am not talking about 2 strokes Wolvie.... in fact, in a gyro, I prefer them.... I am talking about the 9 series 4 strokes.... Claudio flies in 90% of those pics, that if the engine stopped, he would be in the drink.... or rolling down the side of a mountain..... 912's and 914's CAN stop..... you can get bad fuel, a 'float' in the carby can become a 'sink' Like I said, nice pics.... but pilot with big kahunas  Yes, I have mentioned I would like to fly from mainland  to Tasmania and to Papau new guinie, I would feed a tractor inner tube thru under the engine and a couple of scuba tanks to at least half fill it, so it floats the gyro (submerged) enough to sit on/cling to and have a loop over the teeter towers for a heli to pick up my machine....

There is a easy simple way to get rid of the ones you want to delete and keep the ones you do want. Yes Ray, 8.1 I'm not that familiar with 8.1 but in Windows 7 open the Pictures folder. Click the View tab and select "large Icons" That makes it easier to see the ones you want. Attachment: pics.jpg Hold down the cntrl key and select the pics you want to delete. Confirm and then if you are really sure empty the recycle bin. But be sure because if you empty the recycle bin only the FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS, Your ISP, Obama and an 11 year old will know how to get them back. Oh! One other folder you may want to check for photos is the "Downloads" folder. Sam procedure. |

Yeah thanks Ray, that is how I do it too.... Arnie is talking about if he sees a pic on a webpage, to post it on the forum he has to right click/save as or download it..... then he ends up with 34973528394645 pictures on his computer he will never look at again and he is too lazy.... er, I mean, cant be bothered having to delete them all

Yeah, I have two x 1Tb external drives, a 500GB and about a dozen hard drives and a docking station to read off hard drives that aren't in a machine .... so I have more space than star trek.... beam me up Scotty
