Mark Ol'boy,
Straight and level is for the heavies. Problem for you bloks is that water locked aircraft carrier you launch off of! Always having to turn to stay within your bounderies as well avoid all that weather ya'll have.
You see here in the colonies we have wide open airspaces, no user fees, and cheap fuel so we can afford to fly a bit. So we use the ol' acro to lighten the load on our bottum sides. You know a littl' roll in the inverted to get a little blood back in the checks so we can press on! Now if they would just move that rudder pedal a bit farther forward, we could really recline back for that extended sortie to gran mum's house. Which of course is one of the cheap fuel stops on the way to one of our many published maintenace, training, display, or airshow sites as per our program letter. So when fitted with a Texas Condom catheter and foley bag, the ol' bladder does not interfer with the extended XC. But one might would want to strap that bag to ones leg if they plan on a little Acro along the way. A bit messy otherwise. Now we just have to solve the problem of the limit fuel bladders on the stock 52!
Cheers,
The video was great!

Mark,
Roger is absolutely right of course. Both of the strips I use here in Devon are mud pools, the weather is totally cr** and they can afford fuel. Not fair is it :'(
Happy Landings

I've enough problems keeping up with the 50 and the 52, three young sons and not least a high maintenance wife !
I'm not sure how good these two pics of that day are....but I can just see your grin in the airborne one.......and mine had to be removed surgically three weeks later.......
Fly safe
