In this episode we’re sharing the aftermath of the RV14 being grounded due to a #PropStrike, and the pivot to salvage plans to #fly my first aerobatic competition.
Huge thanks to Adam and his family for lending me their RV8. I had no time in that particular type when I got there to see it for the first time.
It was a rewarding challenge to push through the #adversity and make it happen.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:

I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
