Default dogfight video

This is my latest attempt at a dogfight video...RV-4 vs Glasair. My Sony HC96 was mounted on the RV-4 roll bar, since the headset mounted bullet camera is on the blink. Enjoy!

Default Steven Foster?

Angeline the Baker? What a great use of music in your video, and oh yeah it was pretty great flying also. Any chance it was you on the guitar also?

Default Another good one!

Another great video! I am sure your encounters are making Tom devote more time to that RV4 build.

Default dogfight

Some of us old "bomber pukes" focused on the "secondary mission".....air to air. The RV is great for that.

My Glasiar friend is a really good dogfight pilot., but it's no fun to always be the "F-4," (Glasair) while I fly the "A-4" (RV) in a slow speed turning fight. The Glasiar is super fast....300mph VNE, but the high speed wing can't stay with the turn afforded by our RV wing a slower speeds. He's building a very light RV-4 now, so my turn advantage will go away. ...may be time for me to check six.
