Thanks guys. Went to the field and flew tonight, grabbed the video camera and it was dead. I'll have to get some more video in the next week or two.

Thanks casey, but I think you might be a little better. I was really working on my rollers and inverted harriers tonight. I'm starting to quit thinking about the inputs when harriering low inverted and the rollers are starting to look a lot better. Just need to keep burning more fuel. Definitely ready for Athol!
