*Video* Ghost in the machine (a day in the Ivanpah)
Great session in a bumpy field with butter smooth winds blowing NE and the Sony Walkman jamming.
Enjoy.

Lovely vid, Todd, but right around 2:20 it looked like the phanny was right out over the road! :shocked2: My luck it would have fallen out of the sky
or something.

Nice vid and nice editing too. You guys are getting better at this. Which size phantom is that? The color indicates a 12 or 18? That's not always
to be depended on though.
So I've got about 10 hours of raw video, how do I send it to you? :embarrased: jk.

I just installed bigfoot lites on my Ivanpah. That would certainly smooth out the ride. It "looks" right with the larger tires on it. The tires
don't look quite as HOOJ on the Ivanpah as they did on my FlexiLynn buggy. Pics to follow and maybe even some video if I can get the video crew to
sit still.

I understand completely, there are times at my spot that the kite has to be right over the trees, and believe me, I get the willies every time! I've
treed my 2M beamer 3 times, only once was nasty, but when ya gotta bug, you gotta bug!

nice video. The wind couldn't have been coming from a better direction for your spot! I bet you get a lot of double takes and rubber necking from
those cars going down the road

Thank you for the comments! Funny you mention the road; @ the 4 minute mark you can see the unmarked officer watching us. I have taken a pass on the
road and actually topped out at 36mph on that day.

How much does that Ivanapah weigh? It seems like it is a tank(I mean that in a good way). Can't wait to try it out.
pretty work as usual.

Donnie, I think Kent mentioned that it weighed 100 pounds if I remembered correctly; it will be in Wildwood so please give it a whirl. Lunchbox, the
spot is in Southern Maryland and that is pretty much all I could say at this point due to security reasons. Thanks for the comments.

yeah the Ivanpah with wide wheels is about 96 lbs. Makes it tough to transport but rides like a Lazy Boy on railroad tracks.

I keep devising better ways to get mine to its nesting spot on the garage ceiling. Pretty tough to just pick it up and shove the rear axle up to the
10 foot ceiling. I switched around the way mine rides on my hitch rack so I can just back it up to the rack, lift the rear axle into the rack and
then stand it up and fasten it in. First rack buggy rode bottom first and now the bottom faces backwards to make it easier to load/unload. Nothing
skimpy on the Ivanpah.

Come on Bob we need a DIY Ivanpah storage lift thread with pictures! I'll be wrapping up a DIY front fender thread shortly and you're correct, nothing
skimpy indeed.

That's funny about the fender. I got an official Ivanpah spray guard and left it at home during my journey. I got a garbage can lid and cut out the
center section and it seems to deflect almost all the sand that was hitting me in the chest.
When I get all finished with the storage issues, I'll post up.

OK, I officially want an 18 Phantom now to go with my 12 & 15. I'm planning on Phantom-ing all over Wildwood. See you in a few weeks Todd. What
was the wind speed that day? It looked like you had the trim all the way in?
