Here is a YouTube video which is best watched with the HD button clicked.

Here is a much higher resolution Zip file but it will take a few minutes to download...You can play it direct from the WinZip window:-

I recorded it some time ago, but have only just got around to making the video. It only plays for 6 mins 45 secs :flying:

Have you turbocharged that Chippie Peter or are the crash sequences cut. For sure.. my Chippie won't do that at such a low level without making contact with 'Mother Earth' :lol:

I have to admit that 6mins or whatever it was supposed to be was too much. I cut and ran at the 3min mark. A nicely done vid but had I been watching that in real life.. I'd have wondered WHEN the accident was going to happen.. not IF ;-)

No Dave, the engine is normally aspirated but I did get the chaps to fit an aerobatic carburettor. Otherwise as you say...impossible. Pity you cut and ran...you missed Jonesey's rather nice landing :lol:

Yes I just checked and the only change to Rick's Version 3 Chipmunk is the aerobatic carburettor :)

EDIT...Plus the plastic surgery on the pilot's faces of course :bandit:

I was waiting for the fin tip to "strike a furrow".

You must have a concrete stomach Peter,that was you in the back wasn't it??

Very nice landing actually Jonesy,cute little Spitfire bounce too.

Mark :thumbsup:

That's Pete showing how its supposed to be done. It went a bit wrong at first so a stern voice from behind said "I have control!" :lol:

Must say, I'd have thought inverted flying was the last thing you'd want to do while running shine from Skaggy to PAMA :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the comments gents...I'm quite surprised how many people have viewed that since Monday. I've only got 11 YouTube vids and I don't think many people are keen on my "Barnstorming" style :$ However, this one seems to be ticking along :flying:

EDIT...Nigel, your style is much smoother and more precise than mine and very pleasing to watch :flying:
