Pics of Max flying. I would have liked to get pics of the plane but he was so high they don't make lenses that can zoom that far out

Beautiful plane.

Bummer on the belly landing.

Did the gear fail to go down or collapse on the grass?

Gear failed to come down. Bill could not have landed it any softer than he did though. Amazingly soft landing.

I have the vid from friday night. I covered all but the landing. I just can't seem to get it to upload. I'm still trying though. Maybe I'll get it figured out and post it. It was freakin awesome!

Unhappy Matt's other plane vs Tree

This footage isn't great, but it's my first attempt at video anything.
I was really far away, and I had just gotten the camera.
It's a little bit dark, but you can see and hear the event.

The camera is HD, so this is a converted file besides.
