Spit in the Snow...
I downloaded the Demo Spitfire 1A from Nigel's pointer and removed Mrs. Shilling's orifice as described in that other thread...It is not a bad flyer and I made a video of my first flight. It does demonstrate the engine cutting out under negative G quite well (turn the sound well up).
I'm afraid I scraped the starboard wingtip a bit on landing!
The download is a Zipped up MPEG4 file and you can play it from the Unzip window:-

It should not be a long download and plays for six minutes.
Here is the YouTube version:-

Looks very good if you click on "Watch in High Quality" :flying:

One to keep for sure.

Re: Spit in the Snow...
LOL!...If you looked at what preceded that excursion down the military taxiway, you would note that I experienced a high speed stall and recovered from the resultant flick roll, to find myself lined up exactly with that taxiway...So rather than struggle back to the line I was supposed to be on, I just "Went with the Flow"...Still, it looked good from the tower with the spit only showing in the gaps in the treesNigel H-J wrote:once or twice I thought you might have gone tree pruning!!

Re: Spit in the Snow...
No problem Peter. I always thoroughly enjoyed the times I was aerobatic in a Tiger Moth with a pilot who was a Javelin driver
on week days.

Nice flying Peter!
Can I ask you where the airfield was please and where the scenery is available?

All I can say is that thank goodnesss it was not the later two seat version and you were carrying Jonesey, he would have re-decorated the interior!! :oLOL!...If you looked at what preceded that excursion down the military taxiway, you would note that I experienced a high speed stall and recovered from the resultant flick roll, to find myself lined up exactly with that taxiway...So rather than struggle back to the line I was supposed to be on, I just "Went with the Flow"...Still, it looked good from the tower with the spit only showing in the gaps in the trees
