Both excuses might be used! Some of our past camp outs have been ugly affairs,speaking more of myself than anyone else. One time at 1AM(I think)I picked up a black log from the fire only to find out it was still smoldering-had blisters on my palm the next day,still flew!
I know that if I keep up the pace,I will do a torque rolling tail touch,since I recently have been dropping down while hovering. My biggest problem doing that is pucker and starting the hover low enough to have a shot. The Do is my second and is pretty ratty looking from several dork-ins but I havent looked back since I started torqing. I shouldnt worry too much about the Do itself,its ****ly now,safety is the main thing,and that is kept under control by distance from me& flight line. I need to start a hover very low and its been a bit of a challenge,the harrier doesnt seem to work,possibly because of spoileron mix and maybe being a bit under-powered. I can do a wall from a foot or two up but end up climbing more than I want,I think I need to stay at high idle a while longer to do it and I dont trust the engine,maybe the new Cline will help me. Anyway,going to have fun this weekend either way.
