Cool. Wonder how much pitch oscillation m/c guy could create with a harder tug?

I wondered the same thing...that's a lot of moment arm out there, wouldn't take much force.

Have much better one than that(in my mind) except there was NO video -1964 Walla Walla,Washington (ALW) airport -AG-CAT snagged a phone wire (with cross arm) and got it hooked on airport fence > looked like a carrier landing with arrestor hook .I witnessed this along with a few others . Marvin Blevens (now deceased) was the pilot and part owner of Blue Mt. Aviation and Crop Dusting. Saw lots of stuff there -wish we had video's of -Ag-Cats crashing, Supercubs flipping over, 180 landing in creek bed etc. way past where the Federal Against Aviation prying eyes.

Re: airplane tail grab

I am impressed by the flying. The Motorcycle part is 'low talent', particularly in comparison to the pilot's skills....

IMHO
