Finn still treasures the rudder of your plane,great seeing the vid today,brought back memories of a great weekend

[@Bravo303]

Finn, you better take good care of that rudder! Glad you enjoyed the video - that weekend was a blast, wasn't it?

[@Coops777]

Poor Riley. He had some amazing manoeuvres going just prior. Would have been a very spectacular routine for him.

[@Bravo303]

Thanks for watching! I know, it's a bummer about Riley's arrival. He definitely had some impressive moves going before that. Hopefully he'll be back with another amazing routine next time!

[@stevendegiorgio3143]

That plane is very repairable.A tail section rebuild.

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

He's sponsored. That's going in the garbage

[@Bravo303]

I believe it has been patched up and is back in the air again

[@Bravo303]

Sponsored doesn't always mean a complete free plane, it definitely didn't in this case

[@Combatkidrr]

man that looks like its been donated parts to, thats not how i remember that version of the slick looking lmao. i personally love the way it looks

[@Bravo303]

Haha, you're not wrong! It's definitely a bit of a Frankenstein plane at this point, with parts from all over. But hey, it flies great and that's what matters, right? Glad you love the way it looks though, even with its battle scars!

just a touch more flare needed on the landing

That's why you seldom see the descending part of a rolling loop.

[@Bravo303]

Great catch! You're right, the descending part of a rolling loop is often out of view. This is because the pilot focuses on pulling out of the loop at the top to maintain control and airspeed. By the time the plane levels out, it's usually moving away from the viewer.

[@billclark5943]

Those RH loops will bite your ass sometimes

[@Bravo303]

You're not wrong! They can definitely catch you out if you're not careful. I've had a few close calls myself!

[@billclark5943]

​@Bravo303 yeah, you're committed on the backside too. You really can't bail out especially that close to the ground

[@Bravo303]

Its all a competition at the end of the day ... Go BIG or go home haha

[@alwaysflying6540]

Looks like that plane had a few donations in the past. If another person fronts you a tail you will be all set!

[@Bravo303]

[@samtse9626]

Terrible colour scheme. Best thing for it

[@Bravo303]

Haha, maybe you're right! But hey, at least it stands out, right?

[@Deadzone2024]

Bit of hit glue she'll be right.....

[@Bravo303]

You got that right! Hot glue is the duct tape of the RC world!
