Lack of hockey can make a guy a little crazy, eh?

Thanks for a great video- very well done throughout, as always!

Jughead, after you cleared the lip of the cliff you should have dumped the flaps as you pushed the nose over, that would have given you a thrill for sure!

Yes; but then all the cool kids would try it at home. 8) He's trying to set an example after all; a pillar of how to play safe and have fun, for all to follow. :shock: Your a model aviator Jughead, leading by example. :wink: The BCP community needs more like you to lead us down the path of aviation righteousness, keep the faith Sir.

Thanks Maplefit. G44, to be honest the airplane was flying at the edge on its own. With the 15kt updraft under me at the edge, I could have climbed pretty aggresively. I have some other spots selected where I will go off the edge at less than flying speed and have some fun.

I liked the ridge riding better than the takeoff. I'm afraid of heights. I have to crawl up to the edge of canyons.

Yes of course I realize that Jughead but it looked like in the video you were intentionally pushing over for fun, my comment was to increase the fun plunge factor.

Should have called this one "Jughead finds a much deeper ditch"

I think I saw Thelma and Louise's car down there!

I was pretty curious to see how Dakota did being weightless...Pokey Joe scowls at me when things get a little floaty.

Oh this one is the best response yet!!!! The bars up here were trending in the right direction, and then the temps went up and they started to rise. Now the rain started and they may overflow all of them.
