Thanks......I needed that. Minus 10F here and snow on the way. I could feel the heat. It'll be another three months before the waters wet again. Make more vids.

The video looks like there's a fair amount of up elevator to hold the tail down in level flight; maybe some ballast in the back to compensate? Sure would improve the efficiency of the tail feathers. What engine do you have?
Nice video!

Florida is great in the winter as long as you don't miss playing in the snow...especially as you get older!

The up elevator was when I was slowing it down for the approach to landing and also doing slower than cruise flight. The engine is an O-360.

Great! I put on the bluetooth headphones and upped the volume. If I had a heat pad I'd sit on it and pretend I was there. More vids.
Nice plane:
