First-Time RC Pilot: Julio Flying the Dead-Simple Wing

My friend Julio has been building beautiful RC planes for a while now but hasn't flown one (successfully) until today. He did awesome! This is actually his SECOND flight with my Dead-Simple wing. The first flight wasn't recorded but it lasted almost 5 minutes.

Recorded at Ives Estates Park in Miami, Florida on Saturday, September 24th, 2011.

At around 0:08 he almost crashes the wing and pulls up at the very last moment, scaring the hell out of me! As he perform a slow fly-by, the battery dies and he has to dead-stick land which he nailed 100% and better than I was able to land. Unfortunately I was distracted and didn't record the landing.

SUBSCRIBE and check back in a couple of weeks as we fly a couple of Julio's jets and later, one of my works-in-progress.
