Dennis, great to see you back!

No small feat (one imagines) recovering from a t/r failure mid-torque turn. Bravo on getting the bird down in one piece. Did you run her on to the grass or tarmac?

I also had the pleasure of meeting Karl Zimmerman although some years earlier c. 1980. An amazing chap with amazing skills!

Before leaving Karl, another clip (this one perhaps even better than the first) with an especially pleasing manoeuvre commencing at 2:30 which begins as a nose-over into bunt, goes inverted, proceeds into a brief tail slide and then recovers back the same way! Stirring stuff for helobatic fans.
