Very nice. Like the paint scheme as well. That would look good on my Onex!

Very Nice Video RogerC
Is that a low pass?
It sure looks like a shorter take off than mine from grass.

It wasn't a low pass avee8r, but was lightly loaded and held in ground effect

Nice Dale...a question for you and anyone else who cares to chime in.

Do you ever "wheel land" your Cleanex and if yes, what speed/flap configuration works best?
