Roger Auker Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Andy, my congratualtions on a superb plane and test flights. Have been following your artices in the mag and you have really been to a lot of trouble to make sure it all worked out as you expected. Forward planning and attention to detail always pays dividends. Good luck for all of your future flights. What plane next ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slopetrashuk Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi guys - thanks for the kind words. I don't want to sound blase about this but 180mph is not so fast really. http://www.tmfc.org.uk/records/speed.htmlIt was kind of like putting on an old pair of slippers. The Rookie is ultra stable too so it all helps.It's more about the sound and the limitless vertical and the big smile it puts on your face.However - standing by the side of a road watching a motorbike pass you at 100mph is girly compared to watching a juggernaut follow it at the same speed!More soon in the mag.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mullins Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Wow andy, it must have been thrilling to fly that!Maybe be you should put a Flycam in it!! It would make a marvellous video!Congrats Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Can't imagine what a flycam under the wind would do for the aerodynamics! Mind you I saw one at my local show, and they are way smaller then I imagined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
