Flying with Ttabs, Henry & GeoBlaze too-- I don't even bother to video tape-- These guys have the video covered!!! ;) But, maybe I can give some back story:
Flight log this day (3 days ago I think): Did t/g @ Felt's to test trike after setup. All good. Joined up w George & Tom to fly over George's, then out to Deerpark (KDEW). Ttab crossed right over my nose coming around me on downwind. Did several t/g on 16, then one on 22, then FS 16. Then flew over lake Cour de Alene, and back to Felts-- Tom in lead, controller strange, did not acknowledge "flight" until last moment (I was going to ask him are we cleared to land as a "flight!!?"), didn't understand "Tally Ho," gave altitudes as "last reported" even though we were squawking alt. Lead landed long, but avoided vortex, no prob. Landing a bit weird, front wheel bounced. The 100HP of Tom's gave much better climb, and speed even with Q-tip prop, & alternator, but fuel econ same. Missed not having D-Bars (training bars (for flying / hand position & for hanging helmet), but less weight for mountain flying.
