Default RE: Super Jet South Event - Superman Alternative

Hey Guys,

This is almost unbelievable !
A turbine powered jet that can do a sustained nose up hover.
It is a Composite-ARF Rookie 2 with a P-160 and thrust vectoring in pitch and yaw.
Piloted by Wolfgang Kluhr.

The prop plane is my Composite-ARF 3.3 meter Yak 55 SP with a DA-150.

Wolfgang demonstrated absolute control while flying the Rookie 2 and even did a harrier circle around the Yak.
He also did a loop around it and a high speed pass UNDER it.
I think that SKS video may have got this on tape.

I would like to thank the Gergia Jets club for inviting us to fly at their MAGNIFICENT facility.
It has a 1000' long PERFECTLY level runway, a clubhouse, beautiful grass planted around the runway along with shrubery AND in the ground speakers !

Having a GREAT time here,

Barry Finck
