How not to fly and Edge
Here's the latest video of my edge...and how not to fly it.

P.S. --I flipped it over and flew it again.....only pilot was dislodged from hatch.

The wheels never broke ground.

Okay, my bad. I relooked at the video and you are right. The wheels did leave the ground.
However, technically speaking, there still was no "Flying'. Some part of the aircraft was always in contact with the ground.
Great somersault though. I rate it a 8.5. On your next try, maybe we could try for a one and a half twist and spot on landing.
Just Kidding!!

I was laughing at the end of the clip. Not because I was laughing at you, but rather laughing at "Been there, done that"!!!! Consider yourself lucky though, you were on a grass field. Our asphalt strip isn't as friendly on the monokote!!!!!

We also have a paved strip but I also take off my tail draggers in the short mowed grass beside the paved part. The extra drag keeps the tail behind the nose. I also had to LOL because I have done it many times.
