I fired up the tailcam & cockpit cameras again & shot some video yesterday. Here's "Pressure:"

Enjoy!

(By the way, if you read my thread from the other day...my fuel pressure's fine.

I really must fire the camera up and go filming again..Still need to get that rather alarming invert spin on tape.

Groucho, I particularly like your forward-swept wings. Very X-29ish. Way cool!

I'm actually still in the USAF. The rules are very interesting regarding aerobatics & aerobatic instruction. I recommend taking at least a few hours worth of aerobatic instruction in a Pitts or Extra if you can get them. Getting instruction in an RV would be great too. It's not overly difficult, but it's certainly something you could kill yourself with easily.

I love those too! (Too bad it only looks that way through the tailcam.)

Frank- No inverted systems here...if you want that inverted spin on film, it's all you!

Have fun everybody!

Yes I fully intend to do it..I just have been too busy (and a bit chicken) to do so..

It actually revovered very nicely from the IS..just kinda jumped me..made me a little gun shy of hammerheads to be honest..

Another nice one, Bryan. Just last night I was thinking that it's been a while since either you or Frank had posted a video.

Frank, you're up

I can see the NTSB report now..The accident pilots friends were encouraging said pilot to go out and film a manouver known as the "Inverted spin"...Despite said pilot having not done a hammerhead in 3 months due to the fact it scared the living daylights out of him the kast time it happened with no camera he went and did it anyway...

Yes I need to get some practice in to be honest..I'm studying for this exam at the end of October and it hs severly cut into my fun time..

I'll get back on the horse soon..
