Yay people I am now a fully qualified acrobatic pilot! You thought jumping bikes gave you an adrenaline boost? I dare you to join me for half an hour! Yes, we have sick bags in the plane.

Here, for those of you interested. I took my dad up for a flight and he brought the video camera. This little clip shows what it's like to put an airplane into a spin; one of the more interesting moves to do. The aircraft essentially falls out of the sky in a spiraling motion at around 6000ft per minute. In about 15 seconds we lost over 2000 feet of height. You can see clearly the propellor come to a stop due to the sudden lack of airflow into the engine. WATrialz.hopto.org/webshare/Spin.mpg(right click and "save" ) Don't worry; if you're coming flying it's a move we'd probably skip (unless you think you can handle it BRAD). Stick to loops and barrel rolls etc... Oh, but I do promise I wouldn't do anything unless I knew for 100% I could get us back safe. |
