Default How close?

From the tail fin it looks like the works demo ship so it will be Biggo or
one of
the test pilots flying so not your average 1 comp and 20 weekends a year
pilot .I have seen much scarier flights from instructors showing off.
Some of those guys log hundreds of hours without touching the controls,but

the real professionals can do that at a different site every week.
Plus the xl is a dream to fly.

Having said that, if you think it's close, then you should not attempt
it. (Professional driver, closed course, do not attempt.)
