Hi Guys,

To see a short video I did with the camera tied to the
tail of my plane.
For reference, the stripes are 150 feet long, and I had
a six knot
headwind.

Heh! I'm wondering if you can take off sideways across that
runway?

Pilot your favourite minority to copilot: "Damn, that
runway was short"
Co-pilot: "Yuss, but it sure was wide!"


If I remember correctly the one of the guys from the Zenith got
in hot water with the tower for doing exactly that at Oshkosh
during the airshow.
