    Lots of practice on the grass at my local airport. Hitting my spot at my speed over and over...

    I hope to come out west and do some flying in the near future and this is as good of practice as I can get (at 1400' of altitude)...

    Av8r3400,
    I've seen your vids. You'll have NO PROBLEM here. Come on out west and let's do it. Most of our flying is between 5,000-10,000 ft, but most strips, hayfields, etc are plenty long. Hitting your spot, on speed, is key, but you already have that perfected.

    That first video is of me I work in the film industry so when some new camera gear comes out my plane often ends up the subject for camera tests. This one just so happened to be on a beautiful day and we had a helicopter to shoot from!

    Also, as far as elevations, the spot I landed at in the video was at a little over 6000ft elevation, and that day I had a good 10kt tailwind (I knew I had a little tailwind but not that much!) so I used up a lot more space than I normally do

    Air to Air shots are always great. It would be interesting to see if you could get a drone to follow you legalities aside.

    I actually fly drones for a living in the film industry, so we have done that as well. It all has to be low range though. Legality is a little tricky but as long as both pilots consent and you have permission from the property you are flying/landing on then it is doable.

    Awesome paint, even with masking templates that paint job took a lot of T.L.C.
