This was just another fun flight while the sun was setting.  I flew the Ugly Stick over my house, around our trees, and just had a good time.  The airplane really takes no time at all to climb up to altitude and loiters quite nicely at about 33% throttle.  Once I get in the calm air above the trees the plane is quite stable.  However, you can see there are a few times I got disoriented due to the dark sky and flying overhead.  It's extremely diffuclt (for me at least) to maintain orientation of the aircraft when it's overhead.  But, all's well that ends well!
