Congratulations!
I'll second that!
You really capture the spirit, fun and love of flying!
Be sure to watch it full screen.
One comment for lurkers out there. Don't try those low-level dramatic
maneuvers at home. There were several Coupes (and pilots?) lost in the
early days of the Ercoupe from overly aggressive low-level maneuvers.
ERCO was concerned enough to send out a letter cautioning against
dramatic maneuvers at low altitudes. Daniel shows these off in his
video but beware - they are dangerous. One little mistake in low-level
maneuvers can */get/* you.
The stability and quality of camera work makes me think the original
video quality is much better than what I saw just now on you-tube. Is
there any way a higher video quality could get posted?
