I got a couple off as well................
Jim,
On the first image there is something attached to the port wing, near the wing tip, at the leading edge. Was curious what that device might be, and was hoping you may know.
It's tough to see due to the motion blur, but that is an LED landing light. The Legend Cubs have them in the underside of both leading edges and they are flush until they are switched on, then the rotate down to light the runway. My Cub is going in for some upgrades later this month and one of them is an LED landing light, but my version is just a bulb recessed in the leading edge. I'm thinking about having them put a duplicate one in the opposite wing and with the alternate flashing feature. That makes the aircraft much more recognizable in low light.
Do those lights only come in pairs? I see a spot outboard of the strut attachment point on the starboard wing that could be a recessed landing light, but I don't see a similar light to the one on the port wing.
Earlier model Husky aircraft just have one set of landing/taxi lights in the left wing. Truthfully, I didn't look at this one on the ground . They are doing all kinds of lighting mods now that LED's have become so prevalent.
I photographed this Falcon 50 on Monday and it has to be the cleanest one I've ever photographed. The interior was so nice, the only way you would know is that it was an older aircraft was that it still had a VHS tape player for the entertainment system.
Thank you! JIII is at the top of his game. He spent the night last night for the first time. His Mom has been very resistant, but when I swung by their house last night to drop something off, he just picked up his blanket and stuffed animals and announced that he was going to spend the night with his Papa, and that was it.
I’ve been helping Jennifer put her pumpkin patch extravaganza together this week, mowed 40 acres yesterday and shuffled an untold number of hay bales to get ready for the grand opening.
I’m headed back out there now to help with the finishing touches.

We expect some photos brother!
The corn mazes, pumpkin cannons, pick-ur-own are in full swing here! Still summer like temps which is par for October. The nights are a bit cooler though.
Good luck and glad my buddy knows what he wants and does it....with mom's OK of course!!!

Thanks Dan! All R5 images. As I was going through these shots I felt myself coming to grips with the fact that I am spoiled by the larger sensor. I've pretty much decided to pass when my R3's come in. Between the 5DSR's and the R5's, I think I'm going to stick with the bigger file size cameras and consolidate a little.
The R6 arrived today after 4 weeks. I feel lucky to have gotten it so quickly. It does have a few minimal quirks like it only records photo files to one card, the second is for movies () and the EV strobe like flicker when using the viewfinder high FPS. I went to the gym early to test it on the JV teams. I felt good enough with it I used it on the varsity.
Camera model:Canon EOS R6
Focal length:182 mm
Exposure:1/1250 at f/4.5
ISO speed:ISO 25600
Congratulations Ray! You have already discovered the things that threw me. I'd like to say that you get used to them, and I guess one does to a degree, but they are built into the system and they don't go away. I miss shots because of those quirks and I will continue to, it's just a trade off. The R3 is supposed to be better in those areas, but $6K is a steep entry fee.
I'm simplifying, sold my beloved 800mm today. Just don't shoot it that much and I don't see myself swinging it at airshows much in the future.
Thanks Jim. I have been reading the manual for a few weeks, unfortunately I am a 'tactile' learner. I need the camera in front of me working the controls. I got home and found the camera came with Elec-1st Curtain shutter enabled. Changed it over to manual now. With 800 pages, this may take a while. I expect to find more in the next few weeks. I am thinking about selling my 300 2.8 II and the 70-200 2.8 II so I can acquire a couple of nice R lenses.
