thanks for the concern (really) I have spun the airplane before from 3 thousand and took one revolution in 200 feet - came out of spin easy within 200 feet - I always had that ball centered and the plane never fully stalled - I was feeling my way along the sky with the rudder pedals!!! but thanks again for the concern gentlemen
i would like to know how many feet can u recover from a spin and if this airplane can come out easy from a spin cause u are flying very slow at 800 ft isn't it
oh I think landing in 50 feet is going to be a stretch - you're probably right about indicated speed although I probably could have driven through a school zone without getting a ticket
You should show some GPS speeds , ASI readings in Kitfoxes are notoroiously low -- mine stalls at 25 to 27 mph indicated. Try some stalls on video. Then since you clain toy got 25 mph stall you should be able to film a 50 foot landing. Let;s see it !! :)
Its great to see you making videos in HQ now ! No fair the stall speed, you have me beat by a large margain :( I will be putting new wingtips on the Kolb soon, so maybe later I can give you run for your money on that slow flight !
I've had zero problems with the 582 as long as you maintain them they are bullet proof - if I had my choice however I would like the added reliability of a four stroke 912 but both are gonna make the thing climb and perform great
How much did you loose on the top end?

Hi!
Is your camera an Aiptek Pocket DV Z 100 LE or a Toshiba Camileo Pro HD?Please answer.

Yes it is the Aiptek - but I fitted a small wide angle lens that locks on with a magnetic ring - great cam

yeah actually I had 4,000 rpm at the time of the video was holding cam with one hand so couldn't work power but still the stall was a non event
