If you did not need glue and it flew agin it was a perfect landing in my door.

Just like the Hudson River was a water landing... this was a snow mountain landing!

37 seconds and 108. Maybe a few more! You are like me, throw the plane into something just to see what it can do.

Me too!! I've had to learn from videos, self taught right here!! I made this video that calls out some moves a bit. Some have different names ie: Dolphin is also a: Mountain Top, Rudder Dump, Camel (original it turns out), ect.

Ya, that's how I learn as well. It is not the same as being able to see it done as being there in person. It would be nice to have someone that is good at 3D standing beside me to tell me what I do wrong. Right now I struggle with doing a knife edge spin. A GOOD knife edge spin. Even at the end of your blender you get the plane to climb in spin. I can't.

This is what makes the hobby so awesome. Always something to improve on or learn. Its rewarding!

Social distancing I suppose, no one at the field today. I don't fly by myself so spent a couple of hours prepping my yak for its maiden.
