Awesome video! Though it seemed as if you had a hard time tracking straight through the trees... maybe the wide angle makes it look wider than it is, but I wouldn't expect Alex to fly that jittery! Or maybe it's because you don't have a rudder?

It was really tight. That was Alex at the sticks. I was launching the plane but lets just say only about 5 feet up and about 6 feet wide was the flying area.

That looks like some old school star-wars speeder bike action. Nice
