Default The flying dentist

My dentist Dr John Bugni has finished his PPL and clearly he Needs and RV..Here is his introduction to a slightly wilder mode of flying.

Default Dentists

Frank,
See, we dentists aren't such bad guys after all. Congrats to him on finishing his PPL. He really does need an RV. Hope he joins the crowd here. Nice video. I hope to have my -7A done for OSH next year, but pretty much just straight and level for me (as a group, we can be somewhat conservative )

Looks like it's going to get tougher to get in to see him. He's probably going to be busy building an RV!

Good to see another fellow DDS will hopefully be flying an RV. Keep lighting the fire under him!

Frank,

You have got to get the audio hooked up to your camera! He didn't look to happy at first but as you came out of the first roll he had a big smile on his face. I so wanted to hear what his reaction to each roll and loop.

BTW, being a DDS he souldn't have a problem building and RV. Afterall, he already knows how to use a drill and other cool power tools.

Very cool vid once again. Did you do the 3G turn by meter or a set bank angle that generates 3G. I still don't have a G meter so curious.

By meter, its on the Dynon display..It was about a 90 degree turn and some elevator pull

Should only take 70 degrees to get 3 G if holding altitude. By the time you get to 85 degrees you've got 11!

Super flying Frank, and can use the video clip at work. Some of our Ph.D. types at the research lab have been studying head position with bank angle, and this is a perfect example of the difference between aerobatic pilots and non aerobatic pilots. You'll notice that your dentist's head goes in one direction and yours in the opposite direct into the turn or roll. The research project gave me an excuse to mount one the lab mini cameras in my RV-4 during various aerobatic maneuvers. I made a DVD and sent a copy to Groucho for his enjoyment. I have been trying to put it on youtube, but I'm a village idiot with computers. I have one of the lab personnel working on it, but the DVD may be in the wrong format. Anyway, thanks again for a grin even when not flying.
