Mickey, I agree. I think you are a good pilot but this type of control is better than the flapping blade type.

Jim, I don't think I'm ready to write the book yet! But hopefully someday.

I went back to field to try and get some video, and I did, but It's not exactly what I wanted. It was late in the afternoon, flying into the sun and I made it off the ground but the engine sagged so it was a short flight. Almost made it. I tried again but the muffler came off and went through the prop and you know what that does.

I posted the video, in MPG and Windows WMV. Here is the link:
