The 80s party next weekend is back on. The other half is going as Robert Smith from The Cure and I'm going as a Dave Murray-inspired 80s metalhead

Had my first lesson of rolling on vertical lines today. Quite different from rolling straight ahead when you can see the horizon in front of you. In the vertical you don't have much to judge whether you are rolling straight, and if you don't, whatever maneuver follows the roll turns into a complete mess.
Also had a round of landing practice today, in preparation for a pretty big event coming up.
I have been crazy, and bought a share in a single seater aerobatic machine. This one:
I hope to make my first flight on it this Sunday!

Congrats Wingman!
Yeah, this. I bought a blonde wig a while back and didn't realise how Dave it was until I tried it on. Got a leather jacket and Maiden shirt and jeans, or I can wear leggings with socks pulled up over the top

Thanks
the Slick 360 is a level up from the Cap, and I believe there is a lot of fun to be had.

Happy for this milestone, but how come you didn’t done this (vertical) earlier? After all, you’ve been a wingman all the way. Didn’t want to risk or you weren’t as intensive /investing with your training?

Short explanation is that rolling on vertical uplines isn't used in competition levels below Intermediate, which I only started training for this year.
Also, doing it in the Cap is demanding because it does not have enough power for more than 3-4 seconds in the vertical, putting a roll in is going to make everything rushed.

Sabaton rocked the house down and my voice is byuuried in history.
I've somehow ended up with two cups of tea on my desk. Early start to coronation celebrations I guess.

Andaman Sea. I wasn't aware of this sea until now that I checked the map before posting. I started to read in Wikipedia and then found out that somewhere there, lives a tribe of people completely isolated from the world.
I only knew about it because its round about where the last radar return of flight MH370 was.
