Champ 81L Pix

Post by Tim Juhl »

Thanks for the comments. The first shot was achieved by flying close and slighlty below the J3 and skidding the Champ to point the nose at the photographer. I also had to fight the wing tip vortices off the J3. If you look close you will see I needed fairly good deflections on ailerons and rudder to hold position while he shot the pix.
