Finally, something interesting being discussed in this forum instead of (what school should I go to? or what headset do u use? or what is better, the glass panel warrior or the learjet type 545533 version a with unducted turbo fans). lol
Chimbu, awesome vids. Tell me that wasn't u doing the 8 point roll? HOW do you do that? I was tearing around in my mates tiger yesterday on a beautiful NZ winter's day as it turns out, and I am still trying to get my slow rolls right nevermind an 8 pointer!
Have you ever done an aerobatic competitions in the Tiger?

I also start them from behind, when doing joyrides (several in a row), when the eng is warm, I happily start them without chocks, I put my foot in front of the tyre however if it is just the one flight at a time I put the chocks in place and just take my time.
Here is one of Gav's pics from a shoot we did earlier in the year.
