lol  Grin !!!

love the pic/logo ...in my mind all i can hear is "bank angle, bank angle"

but it did end well... just like in the youtube vid, i kicked the rudder hard left, and levelled her out. 28knt crosswinds allow this kinda flying at times. admitedly, i shouldnt have had the airbrakes extended i dont thnk, as i landed a 'little hard' (forgot in all the concentration) but no damage done. ish

I'd be very surprised if this didn't make it to the finalists at least. Great work.
