Camera fell off at the pull up of the first loop. Need high G velcro.

And I forgot to mention - I did my first Immelmanns! First one was ugly. At low speed and high control deflection on top of the half loop a bunch of rudder is needed. Second one was better. I have some video of the maneuver but it only shows the baggage compartment.

I wish I didn't have to work the last couple days. I'd like to have come up there to meet you guys. They were supposed to close my airport for work on the asphalt Wed, but it looks like maybe they aren't going to start until Fri now. I have some crappy tires for Bryan :-)
