"Crazy" Pitts and Cub Landings

[whifferdill]

I was recently told that there are folks at the flight school where I'm based who think I'm crazy...for doing such "extreme", "dangerous" landings such as this. In other words, a slipping turn down to the runway. Modern pilots...:stirpot: A couple T&G's earlier today in the Pitts and Cub. I'm probably lucky to be alive and writing this right now. Hope this video doesn't get me in trouble with the FAA for careless or reckless operation.

The only thing I have flown that I am sure I could perform this feat in is a HH52A in autorotation. I can't wait to see the video.

A CloudAhoy recording might provide more easily computed descent measurements.
