 |  Re: Matt Chapman Airshows- Lazer Z230
Oh, God....not that video again!? That was one kick butt plane though. Nothing I have flown since has snapped like it. For those who may remember, this was the Re/Max Lazer...I was sponsored by them many years ago. (well...I had their stickers on my plane...) I really like my spiffy red pants and shirt! That was about 16 years and 25 pounds ago! Wow...I did a lot of pushing back then....I was sick... or maybe that explains why I'm still dizzy. I think I was better back then....or was it stupid? Not sure..but at least I'm still alive! And that snappy music...very cool. Ehuuu....Inverted ribbon cut.....taxing with the tail in the air.....wow..... I wasnt that good.... just lucky!

Not older ? Hmm, RIGHT  Bad Ass video though. Just think, if EVERY FG member kicked in a couple bucks and assembled on an airfield far far away we could have Matt fly at our own private party all weekend ! Of course RC would have 500 feet to the deck most of the time Matt.

That is the "zwerbal turn" (sp?)... It was discribed in the late Eric Meuller's book. It's a really cool maneuver. The Lazer did it really well. When I first got the CAP, I tried it and it didnt work that well. In fact, my whole routine didnt work in the CAP. Looking back at it, that was due more to my lack of time in the CAP, it is really a much better plane. After all those years, I tried a Zwerbal out at the Shootout this year. Funny thing...it worked really well. It presents reall well with smoke at the right time. Maybe I should bring it back? I stopped doing the knife edge spin too. I was going to re-introduce that next season... not the inverted ribbon cut though! God...and all those pushes.... what was I thinking?  |
