I've just spent the last hour looking at your site and pics, along with the video. Mate, well done. What a beast of a plane

Default Nice Music

You could sell copies of that sound track. The take of roll and a nice low RPM fly over will complete the album. Congratulations!

Well it does sound like a radial, but it sure doesn't stop like one.
