Couple more. My burrito gets the job done, on the other side of the runway. And my 33% edge in about the lowest hover I have had it in! But when the weather warms up it will get violated too.

The pic was taken from a video so I could snap it at just the right spot.
the vid was VERY tounge in cheek regarding the #9 rule.

Here's a couple of pics of my TurboRaven hovering at about the lowest I have hovered a .40 size profile yet...... These are at about roof level (you'll have to take my word for it).

Yesterday kicked *****. Only 4 other pilots at the field yesterday all day, no wind, and never had to give up the Freq pin.

After all the foamy hovering I have been doing, I am easily hovering my Half-Wit inches off the ground, and I am pulling the Raven down very low (for me).

Two taken indoors. The grey one is me doing a chip hyde impression although prolly not the best one! The plane is a E-sledge, the other is Jeff violating me with his own design extra.

You gotta love it. It would be nice to have one of those, but I chose to be a school teacher. Oh well, I will stick to my affordable ones.

Great JOB!!!!!!!

So you mean to tell me that the gray Depron Sledge with white piant is Jeff's huh? Well sorry dude.......I told you I wasent meaning to bust your balls or anything. But now Im definately gonna bust Jeff's balls.

Hey Jeff.......and I thought I needed airbrush classes pretty bad! And as bad you laughed at my plane when I brought it out. Atleast I had an excuse.......Testor's brand canned air splatter brush......your using a high quality Pasche VL Pro. C'mon Jeff....show me some closer pics of that lovely paintjob

Where's Chuck Auger....I know he'll have to get in on this

I have always liked that photo.

Well before Tail Tapping was an everyday occurance.
