Video of my '51 Demo - inspired by Bob Hoover

[VTB_Ray]

Thought it'd be fun to try and fly like Hoover, the "Tennesee Waltz" and one wheel touchdown stuff starts at about 6:20. I botched the vertical roll after the 16 point roll, and kind of flopped over the top, but it was somewhat controlled :lol:

as a side note, his autobiography "Forever Flying" is an excellent read.

Dunno if it was posted here before or not. But Bob Hoover is amazing. Here is a video of him doing some stopped engine aerobatics and pouring tea during a perfect 1G roll. Amazing pilot.
