Default No Parachute needed for solo aerobatic

Glad you guys liked the video is was a hoot filming it and I've even tried my hand at it. I've posted a few vids on Youtube. Search DPSDDS and you'll find some of them.

Not quite as professional but I'm learning

A parachute is mandatory for the Contests but not otherwise. As long as you are above 2000 agl, not over populated areas, not in Class C without permission etc...... thanks for asking.

Darren,

Great Video and thank you for sharing! It really inspires the guys reviewing plans, riveting and wrenching in their shops (garages).

I'm truly sorry that your efforts on producing and posting such an inspirational video was concluded by you having to quote the Regs. Once again we have a "fingerpointer" who doesn't even know what he's pointing at!

Scott

Hey Dave,

Glad to hear you are starting a -7. Lots of fun and excitement await. The distances you can travel in an RV are amazing. I just came back from a weekend with my wife in Sunriver, Oregon. We left Calgary (Chestermere), flew direct to Spokane (cleared customs) and flew direct to Sunriver. Flight time was a little under 4 hours with a slight head wind. Amazing! Beats a 17 hour drive.

PM me if ever you want to take a spin. I go flying all the time. I bought this -7 from a guy in London, Ont. in July 2010. It had 220 on the Hobbs. Two days ago she rolled 590. It's running better today than when I bought it. I've learned a lot about proper engine care from this forum and guys like Mike Busch of EAA fame. Leaning properly and a fuel additive called Decalin Runup has reduced the carbon build up and smoothened out the engine. The bottom plugs have NO lead build up when I rotate them.

BTW if you are looking for a good Dentist in Calgary I may know someone

Do feel free to contact me at anytime. Welcome to the forum, you will make many friends that you will meet face to face in Oshkosh


Darren

Default Excuse me..

My apologies for questioning the absence of a parachute in your video. I incorrectly thought it was a requirement for aerobatic flight, and have since been "flam-educated."
