I thought I would use this new paint for today's Aerocache.

Most enjoyable Peter - except when you were politely informed that you'd stalled
I trust such 'helpful hints' can be turned off.
Cheers

Dave, you can turn off the whole HUD display and that includes that visual stall warning...I normally fly with it off but turn it back on for seeking Aerocaches. There is also an aural stall warning and you could hear it just as I touched down on that video...I like to try to touchdown just at the stall. But of course if the stall comes at more than about a foot above the ground then the touchdown will be less than perfect.
The aerodynamics of this little amphibian are very good indeed and the aeroplane seems to do everything that I would expect at all stages of flight...I just love flying it
One other good point about the HUD is that to get any video or screenshots from a position outside the cockpit it has to be done by flying in that position...The HUD then becomes your only instrument as you wheel about the sky and it is very useful.
