Default Low pass

Bravo Kirk......

Well put......in your two post. Some simply don't get it or haven't
found it. As to Cupcake.....maybe he's not cut out for low passes or
they frighten him and hasn't come to terms with it.
He sees it as a 'show off maneuver' while we fly it to enjoy a part of
the performance envelope not always available. I bet he has never done
one followed by practicing a low altitude save climbing back to
altitude. Every serious racer has climbed out of a 400-500' hole.
I practice this manuever often, but I have the benefit of operating
out of a private strip.
Bottom line.....enjoy the magic....enjoy all that the sport has to
offer.
