Argentina flying!

Hi, I want to share a video and a couple of pics of my flights at Argentina in my new S-12, recently finished, only 30 hours. I'm in love with this plane!
PD: I know it isnt a Backcountry plane, but I use it for that kind of flights. Great STOL performance.

Solo flight over the river and over the city, at Rojas, Buenos Aires.

Re: Argentina flying!

That is the smoothest video I have ever seen. Looked gyro stabilize. No "waves" either.

Tell us your setup?

Re: Argentina flying!

Indeed, especially when it's an open cockpit that has a small windscreen and a nose fairing to stick your feet in to keep the wind out of your pants! BIG difference (especially during the northern winters) then NO cockpit at all, after flying NO cockpit aircraft, every time I see the term "open cockpit", I got to laugh. To this day, every single time I reach for the heater control in the S-7S, I think of those NO cockpit flying days :D
Great pics. =D>

Re: Argentina flying!

That was really cool. I've never seen anyone run without the full fairing/cockpit on a S-12.
