New Video from inside the circle sharp LE vs. rounded LE
« on: September 02, 2014, 09:50:14 PM »
As requested from this spring when I posted the videos of flying from inside the circle, A second video showing the performance differences of the Brodak Strega with sharp Leading edge and now with a well rounded off Leading edge.  Now these are 2 different airplanes as the first Strega was lost in a square 8 due to turbulence just a few flights after rounding off the wing but the 2nd Strega performs just like the first one did after rounding off the leading edge.  This second Strega I won the Topeka Expert Stunt Class contest this spring with.  This pattern wasn't the best I have done because it was very humid and camera wanted to keep slipping off my sweaty head haha.  So through most of the "manures" I was keeping the camera from slipping off with my left hand...very awkward and kept hitting wake turbulence since there was no breeze at all.  But you can still easily see the performance difference from the first video to the second.  Also changed handles from a cable type in the first video to hard point handle in the second.
