I flew with David from the time when he couldn't keep a Cadet in the air, but he got better real fast. By the time he left here, when he was working for Bob Violet models, he was so far beyond my skill it was amazing. I could always goad him into stuff like trying a loop around the goal post with his helicopter, (pre-gyro days) which didn't end well ;-), but I remember some successful shenanigans like hauling up my sailplane with his (still) pre-stablization helicopter tail first to a successful release, that was NUTS, and once was enough! He used to hover those things just above the grass inverted, somewhat easy now with gyros, not then. His last personal creation he was flying when I flew with him was a Delta wing with an axial fan on the top, flew really well. Good luck with your new venture, Dave. Jeff told me recently (couple of weeks ago) that you were retiring, guess not.
Nice flying planes I'd say :) I'm not sure what to think of FC's in these kinds of planes though.. I'm Sure lots of people will want them (as they don't need to learn how to fly 3D anymore :P) .. But it kind of takes a way from the skill needed to fly like this...
