Nice video DOm.. but awful flight! [:@] Probably the worst I have had with the plane. I didnt realise till I went to put secomd stage of flap in for landing, that in-fact. I had been flying the entire flight with take off flap still in... Doh! [:'(]
I too have never really loved the look of the real aircraft.. However. I am strangely drawn to its oddness and unique shape. Also the fact that its such an iconic aircraft here in the UK. It seems to evoke so many memories and emotions for many. I love having it at an event just to hear all of the stories that various people recall about their memories of the EEL.
Its a challenge to fly. Not an everyday flyer for sure, but one that keeps me on my toes and is one of the very few planes that gets me worried. Strangely enough with the I gyro working and the BF300 blowing its really quite solid and direct to fly. The worry is what happens when either of those two components stop! [X(]
