Sweet! Nice choice of music and it was great to hear some of the
conversation. Your guys must be stoked! How does it stall? No
loops?

Nice!

Looks like the only improvement would be a sprung undercarriage. That
roll-out on landing looked pretty rough.

The undercarriage does have an oleo shock absorber in it. But the
pressure is set pretty high to absorb the big bumps. The camera makes
it look rougher than it is; I'll bet most landings on grass strips are
about the same.

Thanks, Bob K.

thanks Gary!

flaps 0 it stalls around 36kts............very nice stall and straight
forward recovery.........no loops!

still testing to VnE, so far it's been up to 125 kts.

PS....................our grass runway is very bumpy, we need to get
it rolled soon. I have the oleo charged to about 450 psi.
