Rustik

• Rustik Video Page

01.wmv (2.9 MB)	A quick walk-around while Rustik waits to take off.
maiden_flight.wmv (7.4 MB)	This video was 90% blue sky with no airplane in it.  What you will see is Rustik on the table, taxiing, its first take-off run (the best part of the video) and a little very blurry flying.  The rest was cropped out.
02.wmv (3.4 MB)	This was Rustik's second flight.  The engine dropped power after take-off.  Mike brought her around immediately for a very nice landing.
03.wmv (6.5 MB)	The engine was tuned much better for Rustik's third flight.  Mike starts to put her through her paces with some gentle aerobatics.
04.wmv (2.9 MB)	An aborted take-off due to loss of power again.
05.wmv (18.3 MB)	Mike is starting to push her a little harder, but still nothing extreme.
06.wmv (13.0 MB)	We played with the Crow a little and found it works very well, although the throws are very tame so the airplane does not slow down as much as it should.
