You can certainly handle that bird Dan, very nice. Close up inverted flyby was good. Nearly crapped myself when that motorbike started up, had volume up full... Lmao.. Like it...well done, very entertaining

Lol it scared me too death and I was there I should have put a note to turn the volume down around the 4.50 mark.
I don't know about handle it Tony, I'm still chasing around the sky a bit, I need to keep working on my throttle control, harriers and elevators are starting to come together. My entry to spins is a bit sloppy but it should all come together with some practice.
just got to keep simming and flying.

Don't knock yourself mate, it was enjoyable to watch. There's always something we have to learn, wouldn't be the hobby it is if not

Managed to get another 3 packs through her today. Just got to edit the video down if I get chance. Worked on the usual suspects, harriers (upright and inverted), elevators, waterfalls.
I think my CG is a bit far back as she is wanting to climb when inverted.
