Aerobatic flight onboard and outside the Extra 300 with female Pilot Davi Held. Engine start, takeoff, display and landing. Both filmed at 4K UHD from inside and outside. Enjoy !
What I particularly liked about Ms. Davi's flight is how smooth it was. Start to finish the entire flight was very polished. Generally when you see men doing a similar flight they will be "yanking and banking" the airplane around, trying to get the super fast rolls, almost as if they were in a hurry to finish the flight. She reminds me of Patty Wagstaff in fact. The reason for the crab angle on landing was not due to wind (there was very little, in fact) but due to the pilot's (any pilot, not just Ms. Davi) inability to see over the nose. Many taildragger pilots routinely crab the airplane in so that they see the runway better and also, as I usually do, come in a bit fast and high, then use the crab to lose altitude and slow the airplane. Most airplanes in the same category as the Extra type airplanes (Edge 540, MX, etc) do not have flaps so a crab (or slip) is used instead. It's not necessary, but it's fun! Cheers, jc
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Bryce Vincenzo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Definitely smooth on your maneuvers. The expressions on your face during your performance are awesome- it’s as if you can see the look in your eyes setting up for the next maneuver. Very nice indeed. Thank you for the video. Wish I could do half of what you’re doing. Best I can come up with is an initial climb out of 10,000fpm. Anything more than that and the boss in back might freak.
That is an awesome job you make the pressure and attention to detail while stunt flying look relaxing and you were having fun and that’s very enjoyable to watch.
Amazing! And RU-vid watching at its best, head phones cranked up beyond loud. Did I detect a little smile at 0.09 when the engine fired up? I certainly smiled.
My favourite thing about the 'pilot cam' in aerobatic videos is that you can see the pilot's age vary by +- 20 years depending on how many Gs they're pulling. It's like watching Benjamin Button at 100x speed.
Outstanding job beautiful day to fly. And your headband did its job. You look very confident and it shows in your ability. Again great job. I believe you’re performing a lumShivalik maneuver and yes I’m butchering that word but it still looked fantastic.
i feel extremely glad that i am one of the lucky ones to fly an aircraft even though i am a poor bastard. this is definitely one of the most unforgettable memories of my life. (i am not a pilot or anything. just got the chance to fly 5 sorties of glider and 6 sorties of cessna)
Flying gliders is not expensive, I do it for myself, including aerobatics. If you can start with a winch and are a member of the gliding club, the start costs 5.-. But you need a lot of time, because if one is flying, you need three persons on the ground to bring the glider plane into air...
I like the 300, but I still hope you have a vid of the Pitts. She can really throw that 300 around! The best thing is she looks so cool & collected. Beautiful side slip for the landing. Great pit vid also.
You have to do something about that microphone box. Clip it somehow. 3:31 surprised (and amazed) me. Then, 7:34 you did it again. Great work. Crosswinds are tough things is such light a/c, eh? :D
Her facial expressions are hilarious to me!! She acts like it’s not hard what she’s doing and it’s just another day at the office lol!!!!she’s unbelievably good!!
Amazing pilot! Outstanding job young lady. She looks tough, but there's a certain Beauty in her toughness. Would love to see her smile I salute you from Streamwood Illinois!
Absolutely love it! I got a passenger ride in an Extra 300 recently and experienced some of these aerobatic manoeuvres as can be seen on my RU-vid channel. It was an amazing experience!
Dama ! La invito a informarce sobre el grupo de acrobacias los alcones de chile 🇨🇱. Ellos tienen mas de 40 años de tradición aeronáutica. Utilizaron mas de 20 años los extra300L . Son muy conocidos por sus acrobacias, son campeones mundiales mas de una vez . Usted tiene un exelente nivel su martillo en velocidad cero es notable. Respeto mucho su actuacion. Saludos desde el fin del mundo austral y magico
Her facial expression compares to her sitting at the kitchen table balancing her checkbook! She makes such skilled flying look common and ordinary! It's extrordinary!!
I'm still wondering how did you make it so easily! James Asquith also shared his first Aerobatics experience. It was also enjoyable. You should check his YT channel to watch the video.
A very very focused pilot ! WOW, nice profile face shot, does she crack a smile ? a G meter would help to virtualize the ride. zero over the top, even slight negative gees wake up most people, in my experience, flying is fun
I'm sure she's having fun, but at 5:50 she tried to flick roll but hadn't pulled hard enough before putting in the rudder so it just skidded instead. I'm still learning myself and I guess I'm just jealous that she gets to learn in an EA300.
