Flying an open cockpit monoplane

Here's Peter flying a Spacewalker homebuilt aircraft on a gusty autumn day near Calgary, Alberta. He's having way too much fun, and I hope it shows. The airplane has a Lycoming 0-290 engine and is excellent condition.

Watching this made me remember the day almost 30 years ago when I decided to see why they recommended such low tire pressure on my Evans VP-1. It sure got off the ground faster, but it was like trying to land a basketball. Took me half an hour and 3 go arounds to get it back on the ground; one minute to let the air back outta those tires. Thankfully, no one was there shooting video.

From the landings I thought you were flying a spacehopper not a spacewalker. Only kidding looks like fun.

He should try coming in faster and land on the mains only,no bounce.... Stalling it on is only necessary in short field landings
