Default Got to see the pro's

I was in Tucson over the last few weeks and had the opportunity to watch Chip Hyde and Jason Shulman fly at a local field.
I am convinced these guys ( or at least their thumbs ) are from a different planet.

I watched Chip fly his helicopter and do some things that are too hard to explain. It was an awesome display. I got to see him do his first inverted hover where he was touching the blades on the ground. UNREAL!!

Jason put on a low torque roll display that would blow your mind. He had never flown this plane prior.
Within maybe 10 seconds after taking off the tail was with-in inches of the ground. At one point, he walked onto the runway and torque rolled around himself.

Jason then picked up someones elses plane and proceeded to TR within a few feet of the runway. The plane was a stock Ultra-Stick .40 It didnt have 3D throws or a huge engine. Very impressive!


The plane that these guys were flying is the Doghouse Extreme.
(I have one and its a great plane)
