The little migs are fast and agile and amazingly stable in the wind with the built in stabilization system. Richard's during some passes down the runway.

Well Frank, you are supposed to stand in front of that webcam and wave to the rest of us so we can officially drool over your good fortune.

Didn't see you on the cam yesterday so I am not sure I really believe you were there. ;D
