I got to see Mike Sauls fly at the Elliot, MS fly-in again, and I had to share some pics! He's probably the best pilot I've ever seen. If you've never seen him fly, you're really missing out! I'll try to post some videos if I can ever get the file size small enough. (any video-capture suggestions?)

Here's Hal Jennings going out to touch Mike's rudder. Hal is quite a good pilot himself - I missed getting it on tape, but once during the day he backed his 33% AW Edge down to the ground from a hover, touched the tail, and let the plane rock foreward into a landing with zero rollout. Awesome!

Got it!

Awsome flying, I did that yesterday with my Slow Poke, (in my dreams!) hahahaha real talant there.

The guy touching the rudder is Hal Jennings from Greenville, MS. Had it not been for a little incident Saturday with Hal's 40% Edge (Nothing he did of course) You could have seen them both do some pretty amazing stuff...

I can do that ! Yep, I sure can... Well, I can't do it right now cause... I think my Mom is calling me... I gotta go!


(Maybe I just wish I could do that.)

Here's some video clips - sorry about the size, this is the best I could do for now!

I can do that as well. No problems.

(I mean touch the rudder, not fly the plane)
