...but a delight to cruise around in, enjoying the local scenery.

If you have a slowish Broadband which causes buffering pauses, click the Pause icon in the bottom left corner, then click the resolution up to 1080p...Now WAIT as the pink band moves from left to right, till it gets about halfway across. Now click that same Pause icon to start it running again and finally click the Full Screen icon at bottom right...It should now run through without further pausing.

At the end you will see a "Replay" button...If you click that you will get an uninterupted full screen replay!

Thanks for looking :fly:

Very nice & steady flight - must have been zero weather!
Couple of comments - the shadow on the ground shows only the structural skeleton & its obviously a modern manufacture because the cables ends are modern swaged variety as opposed to spliced if the cables are multistrand, or if one looks hard at the Cody aircraft the cables are single strand & wire is wrapped back on itself.
Is in course of being released?

I think that shadow is because the single layer of doped linen is transparent...It is called the Eastbourne Monoplane and I have had it for a long time. I do enjoy flying it in nice weather and that was the real weather at McLeland Field yesterday. It is claimed to be one of the first to use ailerons :)

Edit...for something completely different here is a commercial very short video that I absolutely love:-
