Hiya Fellow Fournicators,

For anybody who's interested, here is footage of my display over the Canning River at Shelley on New Year's Day 2017.

The fin-cam footage is here: https://youtu.be/YT9498hgM2A

The cockpit-cam footage is here: http://youtu.be/bptnt-WJY8k

Pretty much the same as last year, but I hope you all enjoy it nevertheless.

To a great year of Fourniers and aerobatics for us all, Bob

The sequence was:

Downwind on A-axis Half reverse-Cuban (lost from this clip, which starts with...)
Into wind Loop, Avalanche, Barrel roll, Stall turn (hammerhead)
Downwind super-slow roll, half flick (snap) reversal
Ballistic aileron roll, quarter upward vertical roll, canopy-down humpty-bump, quarter downward vertical roll, Axial roll, half-Cuban
downwind, quarter upward vertical roll, canopy-down humpty-bump on to B-Axis, stall turn (hammerhead), quarter downward vertical roll to downwind, two quarter-clovers into wind
two loops, avalanche, flypast waving to the crowd.

I don't know whether this will work, but it should be a link to my Dropbox, where I have stored Steve Monti's footage of my New Year's Day display 2017
