Unfortunately a mole made a mess out of the runway and on the second take-off my front gear caught a mole hole and flipped the plane and broke the prop.

I started to notice a little bit trim was needed after the touch & go, she felt like I had to use pressure on the stick to keep it level. A couple clicks and she straighten right out. She started flying like she’s able! Rolls, Half Cuban 8s and an Immelmann.

@@matthewrinear5424 Has its own power, you’ll need a 128gb micro SD card. A little bit of Velcro and you are ready. Comes with free software to set camera profile and update firmware. It doesn’t do 4k but I’m not Cecil B DeMille … these are flight videos viewed by a select few!

In this one, I fly a bit more adventurous with a double-roll and a little bit of inverted flight and an outside-loop, plus my personal favorite an Immelmann and touch-and-go.

Just before I land, I save the plane, but almost rip the wings off, I turned too sharp to line up with the runway, I went into a tip-stall and lost all lift, so, I turned it into a snap roll, WAY too close to the ground and saved the plane from a bad crash! But almost ripped the wings off, watch the wings …😂😂😂

@@markdeprest527 ahh, similar terrain as to out here. When I was younger I looked into building model planes but ended up going the flight sim route. I built mine after a b737, it was amazing how many parts I could find. I still need to get an overhead panel but it was so fun to fly. I had a computer hard drive fail and decided to just get a new computer but the new windows doesn't run my flight sim x software and the new MSFS isn't compatible with most of my hardware. When I get some time I will try the stream version as I hear that can still work
