Chip Hyde Double Vision -- Resurrection
(or How To Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!)
Just one more week to go and I can finally get back to the club to fly and get some video! Having surgery is one thing but losing your ability to hop in the car any time you want takes things to a whole new level 
This video is one of two flights that were still in the camera before I decided to abuse our Health Care System in a meaningful way.
Last year, Harv had the misfortune of having his Chip Hyde Double Vision stall while he was in an inverted harrier with very little altitude. By the time he rolled it right side up, it was on the ground and broken in half. Harv kindly offered the air frame to Leigh who is lucky enough to have a dad (Steve) that loves to build planes and put broken ones back together.
Steve waved his magic wand over the plane and in no time at all it was reborn and ready to rock.
This video has Leigh putting the expertly repaired Double Vision through one of its shakedown flights.
