Nice flight Ace. Very smooth taxi and takeoff, gentle turns and an extremely soft and straight landing. Wayto go!

Nice video and flight but I would not want that camera angle because everyone would see me picking my nose

Thank you gentlemen, your comments mean a lot to me.

No additional noticeable drag from the GoPro, Tom.

Monte, it's not so much the picking I'm worried about... It's what's done with the treasure once it's found! Although, I guess one could always edit that part out...... That's what I did

So smooth! Nice video
Is that a 503 or a 447 ?

Thank Ricardo. It's a 447 SCDI with 47 hours.

Nice vid. What I realize that you dont have cables or any sort of fixing the horizontal stabilizer to the tailwheel mounting point, only from the horizontal to the vertical ?
In all my three maxes there are either a rod or cable connecting all horizontals from the same point where the vertical cable/rod meets down to the spring screws of the tailwheel.

I like that. Thank you for posting, or is it publishing? Thanks for putting it out there.
