Great video, I really enjoyed your short discussions complementing the flying portions. Also, it was super to see the wagging tail in the back at the end of second landing!

Re: Jughead Turning Through the Trees

Very good video. Good point about not looking at things we don't want to hit. Same going under wires. Good observation MrPants about tail wagging. Even though he is banking some, the rudder constantly puts the nose dynamically and proactively exactly where he wants it to be. Gusts not present here, but active rudder stays ahead of whatever might show up.

We don't all fly where Jughead and Larry fly, but we all takeoff and land where there is a centerline often. Using rudder dynamically and proactively to put one toe exactly on each side of that centerline is a skill any of us can develop and make default.

While I respect and appreciate his skillful use of the rudder, I was really commenting on the happy pupper in the backseat!

Contact, your insights on his rudder use are far more relevant than my observation of his dog and I appreciate them as well.

Good video, Jon.
The narrative from the hangar really adds a lot.

Re: Jughead Turning Through the Trees

Dang. Just when I feel like I'm starting to get the knack of this whole flying thing I watch something that reminds me otherwise.

Nice flying! Good commentary and video too.
