ACRO VIDEO

[axlr8r]

Thanks Frank,
My video camera does have a digital input (firewire, I believe)
Hope this is not a stupid question but why is an input needed?
Yeah, I'm going up to see Steve Wolf for the 10 hr. course in early March (if the wx cooperates). I'll do 5 in the Zlin first because Steve says it's actually harder to fly and will thus make me more precise when I get into the Pitts. What's your opinion? I was thinking that perhaps I should do it all in the Zlin but, there seems to be some sort of voodoo pulling me toward that Pitts.
Can't believe it - been flying since 1957 and I'm just now getting the acro bug. Hope I can take the g's at my age (68).
I've been lusting after an RV-8 for months now. Hopefully, after this adventure, I'll be able to find one and star in my own video.
Thanks again

Steve

Cool video. I just finished an Upset Recovery Course using a ZLIN242. Loops, rolls, aileron rolls, inverted flight, hammerhead stalls, and of course spins. I wish I had my video camera when I did it. Maybe next time.

I did my acro training in the Zlin.....It was a blast...well right up to doing snap rolls...uggh!

But the best bit was then doing everything in the RV....Forget 500ft hammerheads...try 1600ft from low cruise power setting and 160kts.

You wait so long for the ASI to show 30kts or less you begin to wonder if the thing will ever stop going up.....

The more i do with the RV the more I realise what a remarkable little airplane it is.

Mum went ballistic (Dad thought it was cool but knew better than to say as such) and threatened to "box my ears"...Good job she lives 6000 miles away eh?....
