. . . flying an overpowered Giant Super Sportster. ( Charlie P. that you? )


Igot out pretty far at one point chasing an eagle awayfrom a flock of'lectricsbut it was headed North, not South-East.

My GSS is not overpowered, just at a gentlemanly adequate 34cc. I was doing slow rolls, huge & slow loops, hammerhead stalls and tail-slides at 40% to 60% throttle. Nothing like a slow, aerobaticgasser on a Sunday afternoon with a tummy full of BBQ chicken.

Well, OK, steamed blue-crab and clams would have been better, but since there was no beer what's the point, though the flying couldn't have been. Well, OK, a better pilot could have done the complete circular roll but I'm still learning theGSS.
