;D Yeah those hick country-boy pilots....

Hey - it was all done in real time in one continuous shot from take off to landing, flown in spot view so I was glad even to find my way back to the field let alone land and pull up

Hehe. ;D It's a pretty nice Stearman though, doesn't look like the Dave Eckert model, is there a model I don't know about?

Yep - it's a little beauty from Robert Sanderson that you can get right here at SimV

The early (cream) models I think are much nicer than the later (yellow) ones, and take some time to check out the detail of the texturing with the mud splashes and stuff around the undercarriage and fuselage.

Freeware doesn't come much better in my opinion.

Wow . . . the student becomes the teacher. Nice video,  neat plane and good flying, R.B..

Those of us who have actually recorded and posted FS videos can appreciate it's a bit challenging flying from spot view.

It's a moot point, but your video is only 5.58MB once YouTube converted it to FLV. Like the man said: Keep 'em comin'   :D

Praise indeed. But you are still the Master and holder of the SimV Steven Spielberg trophy.

I've just watched your 'FS9 Mooney in FSX' video and the way you've cut in the real world clips is a hoot.

Brilliant stuff  ;)
