Default RE: Dave Patrick Ulitmate with a OS160?

The video was filmed last year. The only way to make to tail heavy enough for 3D was to remove cowl, wheel pants, and spinner. However, earlier this year I moved the battery pack to the tail, which allows good CG w/ the cowl on. I am getting more comfortable with this plane now that I can do harrier w/ confidence. The wing still rocks, but harrier can be maintained with quick aileron correction before a wingtip drops. This plane is not easy to do 3D, but it does sharpen my reflexes. I am planning to get it filmed again at this weekend's fun fly, hoping to improve upon my previous video.
