Some of the strips are secret Can't give out all the secrets.

The video clearly shows how much of a beating the tail wheel components take. We have worked very hard to make systems that work and last. Jason and I are very committed to not releasing any products until they have been thoroughly tested!!

I suspect Jason's testing became pretty aggressive because it wasn't his plane.

Fair enough Darwin.....we won't give out our secrets up north here either

I'm assuming Jason was flying a 9. Cool Video.

I thought about editing it down more, but just enjoyed it so much as it was.

Darwin, just wait until I get a hold of your plane

Ed, Yes a -9. The first strip is U of A ag center it is on the chart. Straight south of PHX. Come on down sometime I'll take you on a tour.

Chad, come see us again! your RV should have about 44 hours on when you get here

Great video. The camera angle reminds me of those rear-looking movies taken from Vietnam War F-100s as they dropped napalm on targets in the jungle. For some reason, looking backwards and down never gets old.
