Below are some videos from the first day at the field. I just wanted to feel the plane out and didn't try anything drastic, such as inverted pass, knife edge, split S, etc... Plus, it was fairly windy with 20 mph gusts.

* [link=http://www.whitetyphoon.com/rc/h9_mustang/videos/flyby01.wmv]Fly By #1[/link] - nice and slow at low throttle
* [link=http://www.whitetyphoon.com/rc/h9_mustang/videos/flyby02.wmv]Another Fly By[/link] - at low throttle
* [link=http://www.whitetyphoon.com/rc/h9_mustang/videos/loop01.wmv]Maiden Loop[/link] - big
* [link=http://www.whitetyphoon.com/rc/h9_mustang/videos/loop02.wmv]Loop #2[/link] - huge

* [link=http://www.whitetyphoon.com/rc/h9_mustang/videos/landing02.wmv]Landing #2[/link] - the wind almost lifted the right wing

I had tons of fun trying to do hammerheads in the strong tailwind. The wind just flopped the plane over. Here are some blooper videos
