Great day around Palos Verde and Point Vicente.
This is my playground 10 min over the hill from Torrance (TOA). If I'm not going somewhere around LA, I'm over the beach or the harbor. First try in a long time, posting my own vid here. hope it shows. Turn up the sound.

Man what a fantastic playground! You takeoff and landing looks effortless, what wing is that? As I recall you have a Geo powerd trike right?

Ken, My wing is a first gen Manta 12.5. Same one you saw when I came up to Cal Valley years ago. I cruze 42-45 knts (50 if i get out and push) I still really love the RST for the bumps and wind. It stays easy to handle in the worst of it. You are correct i have a Geo 3 cylinder and after years of flying it with a slight power problem i finaly have it running great. i used to have a 15m Sabre wing that i used for flying 2up. I unfortuatly sold that wing as it was a pain to set up. My trouble now is i dont have quite enough HP to fly the 12.5 with 2 up. It's sort of like me getting out of bed the day after a workout. Painfully slow climbout.
Digging this vid Doug....cranked it up at work on my headphones.
Very nice video Doug. Beautiful area to fly...
