Indeed, a very nice video. Landing was a bit rough on the gear with a good 'hop' on touch (bang?) down.

I have been having a blast flying around the Seattle area. I landed and took off again from 4WA8 Riverside Airport. A bit of a challenge with this heavy bird but a bit of flaps and WEP engaged will give you enough power to get off the ground smartly.
