Default Max Has Some Serious Skills!

I was out at the OCMA flying site in Irvive, CA and watched Max and Hey Dick wring out Max's QQ Python.

Hey Dick was doing horizon-to-horizon slow and point rolls that were flawless. Later in the day, Max starts doing rolling harriers less than one foot off the ground! You know how it looks when you hover close to the ground and kick up dirt? Well Max was doing it with the rollers! You could literally see the grass being blown around under his plane. The man can FLY!!!

Tis true, hatas beware.

Happy learned how to putt.

I got a little freaky with the grass. I've been working on harrier rolls for years now, and finally got the sack. We might need to go out again tomorrow with the video.

No 50 there isn't, it appears to be all speculation at this point.

This is one of those things that if I didn't see it myself I would never believe it. He really did it but here's how he did it. HeyDick was behind him giving direction, Down,right- Up left, down,right-up left- Finally Max got the plane in the groove and here goes HeyDick, STICK WITH it, STICK WITH IT.

I doubt he can do it again LOL but would love to see it on the video.

I actually flew his plane and his settings and CG were almost perfect, something you would never expect from MAX LOL
