You're flying pretty good for a leftie  LL~ LL~ LL~

I hope to see you in Lee this August. Heck, I may even fly out to your neck of the woods: I need some IFR practice.

He definitely knows where 5ft is!

I won't meet the college girls until August 22nd, so we'll see until then.   ;D

I see you gentlemen aren't too rusty.   But, Grandpa lost points on his over head 8, I watched the maneuver three times and watched him go straight from the hourglass to the over heads.   Also tell him not to stretch the landings so it doesn't bounce, unless that was a gopher he hit.   Good video tho.   When are you going to hold a contest up there so we can come fly. H^^

Yep! That's my backyard and it's big enough for one circle.  It gets trimmed before we go flying so that it's always in tip top shape.

Yea he did that because last time he flew that plane, he was a little close on fuel consumption, so he only did 1/2 a lap (after that flight, we exchanged the black filter for the green filter and got more economy).  Normally the plane doesn't bounce on landing but it just did that time.

I think it would be fun holding a contest up here, we would just hold it someplace else instead of my house.  The school property is big enough for about 50 circles, plus two in the parking lot.

This would be fun. I wonder if our Canadian neighbors will come...

Yea, me too.  I also wonder how many people would show up because it's really out of the way from where everybody else is.

Hi Matt,

Nice flight - you are hitting the intersections really well along with the bottoms.  Of course, you have to give credit to the ultra cool shades you were wearing!

Than goodness I am a member of PAMPA.  Lost your address somewhere in my messages, but PAMPA came thru.  Did a MAPS thing on yahoo and now see your place from satelite.   Just a hop, skip and jump further than Tuscon from my place here in Shawnee.  Shows door to door, 1364.93 miles and 22.37 hours travel time.  Only thing is traveling thru Canada I would need my passport.  Of course triple A could find me a route thru the states, but then look at all the scenery I would miss.  I did travel to Chickopee Mass for the Nationals each time and its 1400+ miles.  Some day when I am out just driving around may drop in and see you and Grandpa. LL~ LL~

By the way I would add another 5 hours travel time for the dogs and myself.   H^^
