Spit in the Snow...

Post by petermcleland »

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.

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 trees :dancer:

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.

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!! :o
