Blaine started out from around 2000 ft. with the
Matt Chapman S turns.
He started out in a upright flat spin and then
transitioned into a inverted flat spin.
The wing tip smoke was really cool and added a neat
effect.
He ignited the wing tip smoke about half-way through
his routine.
Each smoke canister burns for 3 minutes.
Torque Rolling with the wing tip smoke really showed
the wind direction.
