Thanks CP and George!
Here's another video from a different camera with some parts edited out. You may be able to make out the loops, an Immelman or two and a really sloooow roll. I'll be adding some more rudder throw.

Nice one Hollis, the lil bipe fought the wind well lots of wind looping and stunts!
If you have the opportunity post another vid when the wind is down - early mornings or at the end of the day are the best odds.

Thanks PS, and this I know, but when the weather's been good, I couldn't go. I took a chance on this because I needed my buddy there to use the second camera. Looks like the Mobius does a passable job though. BTW, I also test flew a discus launch glider. Not ideal for it either, but Roger gave me some good launches.

Hi Steve, Thanks! When I started flying in 1982, all I had was a two channel radio, so every landing was dead stick. Anyway, I ain't skeered Did I mention I got a great deal on the kit at SMALL last year? We'll miss you there this year, but be sure I'll hoist one (at least) in your name!

No problem Hollis.. Thank you for building one so nice, showing it and your 30 + years of building experiences off.
Certainly wants to find Angels heading into the wind under power doesn't she? And penetrates with power off.
Watching the video I am wondering how one (Skiniwag) would fly if set up in Dakota F/F configuration. Down and Left thrust.
