Flying over and around the clouds in the upgraded Zodiac airplane: Stalls, steep turns and more! Note my g meter on board. This video doesn't do justice to the awesome visibility on top - nothing in the world like it!

Nice flying, thanks for sharing!

I prefer being close to the bush but flying in the "Top" is ok as long as you maintain the clearance to the clouds and know how to come back... We're not in the US, though.

Nice video. Looks like fun. Glad you’re enjoying your plane. I have no idea how to do what your able to do and will not be trying it any time soon. Its fun to see though!

Thanks, Steve

Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, In the future, while I am sure you wish to share your flying fun w/ the world and it did look like fun. To the FAA, your video would be enough to ground you and take your certificate. You and your panel are not IFR during the video in IMC. VFR above a nearly solid layer is not VFR. You are too close to broken Cloud conditions (152 to clouds) and I doubt that you are wearing a jump chute. Thank God you did not carry a passenger w/ you.
Hundreds of XL builders and pilots really do not need another pilot ripping the wings off another XL in such condition or at all for that matter. The basic value ($) of everyones XL is less because of recent accidents. No doubt flying the XL out of the envelope is one cause. I question your judgement, I understand your need to show off, but the FAA would love to make an negative example of this. I recommend you unpost it.
