Yes I am very comfortable with the plane but it was hairy at times, you can't see it in the video but in reality, I was on the Edge and if you don't believe me, come to the Nall or the Huckfests and I'll prove it[/quote]

I believe you Snap ! Would LOVE to come but its a bit far for now.

The wind was changing all day, we landed from both sides, I think it was calm enough not to matter but what happened was I normally kill the motor with the trim and I was doing that but I hit the throttle stick accidentally and the plane kept going, I realized it and brought it back, no harm done, the place is huge and I'd rather walk a mile and have my plane in One piece, another interesting thing is that if you slow down the plane it will sink fast unlike a 50% or a 40% so you better land it flying, by the way I had no idea Nick DiGregorio was filming who I thank for making the video.

I can only think of one more, but that is only for the ladies, F.ck a Saurus Hehehehe.

Great flying Elie. You had more power on this flight, than you have had before, in any video I have seen of it.
Looking forward to meeting you at the Nall, will be a nice warm up for the Snapahuckfest. Bring it!!

Looks like you know me well. Yes I had 1 to 1 power to weight ratio maybe a tiny bit more, the reason is it was a power day.
Sure I'll bring it, see you in few short days, this is going to be a good Joe Nall.
