malkiserow Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) One of my neighbours passed away and at his post funeral party the son arranged for Richard Goodwin to do his best in a Pitts S2 modified - 8.5 litre engine Some of the stunts on the day were stunning and he did things with an aircraft that I did not know were possible Here is a youtube clip from Richard but it does not give anywhere near the skills of the stunts he pulled the other day. Also the engine roar is wonderful when you hear it for real. Enjoy Edited August 5, 2016 by malkiserow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a number of clips on Youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Had the opportunity to flew a S2B for my initial 'Spin training' many many years ago at SFT in Bournmouth. Went up with Don Henderson and did a few manoeuvres before the obligatory spinning- shame I spun of the top of my first loop-- still, proved my spin recovery was good. On the way back to the field I was treated to some 'real' aeros--- blimey oh Riley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumfelter Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Brilliant, when its not making smoke has the engine stalled? If so how do you restart it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Brilliant, when its not making smoke has the engine stalled? If so how do you restart it? The smoke machine is NOT the engine. (but a good trick!!) I think the smoke is from baby oil but I may have this slightly wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
