ok as promissed the video
Recorded on Jets Over Pampa 19-20 july in Belgium
the day started out with a problem
while starting the turbine she went over 800 degrees on startup
The Wren team who was there inspected the turboprop
and found it had a hotspot , they immidiatly swapped the engine over
and we had here going again
i must say i have never gotten such a good support as from the Wren Team
we had 4 flights with the Extra with no problems!!
as you can hear sometimes in the video the sound of the prop going thru the sound barrier (mentz 22x12)
i can safely say the patty can hold it

the video
HOWEVER it was over 750 MB big for 8 minutes

i have decoded it to mpeg4 but is still 80 MB!!!!
but in 16:9 and Very good quality

please download here the codec for your windows media player
