Screen capture is the easiest way to get it into a jpg.  However, you might also want to convert it to a pdf.  This way the resolution scales.

 

 I use a shareware product (free) called PDFCreator.  It installs on your system like a printer.  Then whenever you want a pdf of something just print it to the pdf creator printer.  It allows you so save it off as a pdf.  It works with everything.

Great to see your BD4 join the rotary powered fleet Bob.  Button is on the way.

 

Two new O.R.B.S. members in a week!  Proof that all those hours & years of planning & work do pay off.

I finally got my plane in the air, lifting off at 7:50AM this morning.
OAT was about 40F.  Flew for about 20 minutes, did one stall and landed
to check everything.

I bobbled around a bit on take off getting used to the control feel.
Landing was uneventful.

I will need to do some work on cooling as I expected.  The oil cooler
location is poor with not enough room behind it and oil temps are
running about 10-15 deg warmer than the water.  Both are too high for
summer time flying.  Max oil temp was about 220F, so it was higher than
I wanted to see.  I also want to recheck the calibration on the sensors
just to make sure I didn't mess that up.

Another rotary is now flying at least a little.  Send me one of those
buttons Tracy! :)
