[@linuxleica]

So good video! I want to do this!

[@nigelbroad5850]

cool videos.. I went for a ride in a Cresco 750 at Waituna West a few years back and what an awesome experience that was. In this video the tail gets quite close to the ground during the landing flare.. have you ever dragged it on the ground?

[@JimboBurgess]

Gidday Nigel, yes I've heard of the odd bit of grass being found on the tail bumper 😄

I love these aircraft, since the Fletcher came out when I was a kid. Can you tell me why the exhausts stubs on the turbine are not symmetrical where they exit the fuselage?

[@JimboBurgess]

Yeah they're great machines, I personally love the sound of the Fletcher over the turbines. The exhaust stubs are to help counter the engine torque 🤠

[@grantmiller6570]

@@JimboBurgess agreed, the Fletch has a great sound. Thanks for the info, interesting.

[@scotabot7826]

It was such a great video until those dang mice started singing. Leave the mice music out next time mate!! Otherwise a great video!!

[@hud86]

This aircraft looks like a piece of junk.

[@camharr330]

Yup , it’s all pilot skill, no flash bells and whistles, just a man holding a stick and flying it like a mosquito

[@hud86]

@@camharr330 they use modified ones called PAC 750's in the US for skydiving. The owners love them, the jumpers hate them

[@duncanandrew7228]

Come and watch one working. You might change your mind. They are amazing machines!
