Cheers, Rich

Once again - excellent production!!! GoPro 3+?

Very, very nice.

You, sir, have some madd skilz!

Especially dodging those asteroids in the beginning - I was needlessly concerned, I guess.

BTW, never before noticed those stall fences inboard of your ailerons - odd, and interesting.

Re: stall fences inboard of your ailerons - odd, and interesting

Nah, just something to smooth the airflow over those aileron hinges...

[FastEddieB]

You probably are aware, but for others...

...they would appear to be there to stop the progression of airflow separation which spreads outbound from the root during the stall.

This would allow the ailerons to remain more effective in the stall, and more benign stall characteristics.

Or at least that's my guess.

Could be those hinge covers are designed with a dual purpose, then, but those hinges do stick up above the wing surface, and there's a hole there too, that has to be covered.

Nice landing. Those tires ought to last quite a bit longer than you've been getting if you can grease every landing like that.

RE: Those tires ought to last quite a bit longer

Hey Jim! Well, I still only get about 100 landings on those utility trailer tires (I guess I should swap out to the allowed aircraft tires). But, I'm buying the tire for $21.50 and a tube for $8.00, and now that I got mounting and balancing down (and my own machines for such), I'm not gonna worry about it, you know?

Ain't seen you flying for a while. Better get out before it gets too hot, bro.
