That is very skilful flying!
You have a great field to use and what a fantastic take off/landing strip you have there.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks Crazy Horse, this is my favorite field, i have around 5 within a few km of me, but this is by far the best, well landing strip wise, most are away from houses too which i like for safety, but depending on the day and if its in use, some days all 5 are being used so i fly around my house, take off from the road, that being said i have a huge empty block of land that backs onto my house, its just no where in there to take off or land, YET!!! (thinking of mowing my own strip) but when i fly at home i stay away from the houses.

I have watched this probably six times now, I still enjoy it. If I live to be a hundred I don't think I will ever be that skilful a pilot.  BUT, looking at it, at about the 47secs mark, I keep thinking that you are going to take the other bloke's head off, the one wearing the hoody! I expect it is my old eyes not getting the perspective right but even at the end it looks like he just steps around your Cub? Is it me going bloody gaga early thinking this? I hope not and that you might put me right if I am mistaken with these observations! LOL. ;D You don't know how lucky you are to have a field that big. As for the space at the back of your house, go on, mow a landing strip, please. Don't forget to post a video of it all.  |

Thanks heaps Crazy Horse, glad you enjoy it, and thanks for the kind words, i spend alot of time flying, i am addicted to it now, yeah i did a nice fly by my mates head because he was flying his hobbyzone champ around and what you cant hear is the amount of times he went flying close to my head so this was payback, lol, was still a decent distance between the plane and his head, i like to practise precision, lol can actually fly through football posts (Rugby) upper and lower, even managed a half loop from lower post to upper flew away inverted. And yes i was trying to scare him when i landed, again cause you can see him and his little champ trying to stir me up while i was flying.
Dont worry more videos will appear as time goes by, try and get some tricky ones, lol, thanks again mate, keep on flying.

Many congratulations on your flying skills.
I am full of admiration - and envy!
Great video, too.
Like Crazy Horse, I wish I had access to a field like that.

I've just been watching the VisionAire promo video on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN6cGBheV84Wow!!  That's a far cry from the sedate old Super Cub. I certainly do wish you Good Luck! |

renard, Thank you for the link. However, I feel that after my viewing it, you may be responsible for my beginning to want one of those. The thing is, being somewhat mature in years which gives rise to slower reactions, poorer eyesight and general debilitation, I am wondering if I could control such a fine looking aircraft, or even if I deserve one. After much deliberation, consideration and pondering, lasting about 1 nanosecond, I made my decision. It was a positive one. ;D There are some things in life that you have to have and this aircraft is one of them. After all the little life problems I have had lately, darn it, I should treat myself. At least that is what I intend to say to Lady CH when the package arrives. Saving the pennies now! BTW renard, if you want to go 50-50 with the purchase, we could take turns in doing the repairs, the video's won't last long, but I am certain they will entertain everyone! ;D |

BTW renard, if you want to go 50-50 with the purchase . . . What a great idea! Only one snag - nothing in the kitty here. (When that new plane arrives, you will be like a bear with a sore head, unable to fly it while waiting for your hand to heal.) |
