I had a great time in Borrego Springs recently, competing in the Hammerhead Roundup hosted by International Aerobatics Club chapter 36. I entered the contest in my new Xtreme Decathlon in the Sportsman category.

I flew down early to get some practice time in. I got some ground coaching from Michael Church and Casey Erickson the day before the event. Thanks to their assistance I ended up flying pretty well considering it was my first contest in my new plane.

I took a video from the cockpit during one of my flights.

Since the contest I've been practicing the Intermediate figures in between the low overcast and frequent rain showers and fog we have to put up with this time of the year in Oregon.
