Dolly goes for a spin

WillyEyeBall · #1 08-02-2014, 03:48 PM

A while back Jon Thocker posted the best ever video clip with his daughter doing some basic aerobatics in his RV-8: http://vimeo.com/72453254 Haley-batics 2
I won?t do aerobatics in my RV-4 with a passenger because of the aft shift in C.G. and super sensitive pitch controls. However, Dolly doesn?t mind showing what it?s like to be a passenger during a spin with a little spoof on Jon?s great video. Also note that my RV is difficult to start the spin, but after a ? turn, it really winds up.
Enjoy, and I ask Jon?s permission first, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSHoe...3pJbKyyySNj9Pg Dolly goes for a spin.

Bill, your Dolly videos are HILARIOUS! I laughed all the way through them. Well done!

Wait, wait, wait... Aren't you going to get busted for not giving her a parachute? :P

I watched Jon's video after yours, both were great. Then I went back to watch yours again with John's music in his video playing in the background. Oh my, that was that even funnier (if that is even possible). You should go back and dub Haley's voice back into your video. Try it!

Highly entertaining! Who needs animatronics when you have good ol'-fashioned g forces?

Ben,
That was a great suggestion about listening to one video and watching the other. I have about 50 song links from youtube that I play for the musical background when I'm watching the acro videos. Everyone has a different taste for favorite music, and I also enjoy occasionally adding slow classical to some of the aerobatic clips. It's a shame youtube doesn't allow the good music stuff without copyright permission, but your suggestion is a good way to get around it.

Love it! Especially the head bobs and floating limbs!

Great video!
