Nice video.  Grant has a fine machine there.  We've just about run out of comfortable days for flying DE Stubby.  But, we'll surely get one of those cold, clear days during the winter, and Stubby loves those.

@Tom H
Im having an absolute ball flying around - best fun ive had with close on - were coming into shitty hot weather 100 to 110 and bumpy
great if you are a glider pilot 
Video of last flight for 2017 - what's not in the video - we had a RV6 in formation with the Eagle  - its hard work for him but we have done
a few flights and really get some crazy looks - try and get some photos to post

Nice tour, Mr G.  At about 6:30 you were overtaking a yellow plane at lower altitude.  That's impressive!

We woke up to 5 degF, but clear skies.  Too cold for me.
