Default Fantastic liftoff..... great handling on that crosswind!

Inspiring.. My rv7 is at the wings stage and this is so inspiring to see, and that you built two.... WOW. I bet your heart was in your mouth on that liftoff eh? I mean i was trying to figure the liftoff distance there and thought it couldnt have been more than 300 feet .... oh man I am going to pound rivets and NOW!! congrats

Congratulations Doug, Great video and nice job landing... IO375 did not take much to get airborne... ZOOM maybe 300 feet maybe less.

Hope to be there in the future.....
