this one came with cloth hinges, but the carbon fibre is too close to the edges to get them in far enough, so i just taped the hinges.

i was looking on utube for something and fell onto this, far out 25000 views, read the comments, the conspiracy theories are a pisser..

"Any trainer with lots of command travel and an oversized engine can do that. What the video "forgot" to mention is that the trainer must have *lots* of tail weight, making it unflyable in conventional way. "
