cool stuff that you have done on g5

My coolest thing was learning to fly rc planes on RealFlight and then doing it real life.

Agreed.
Second is landing on buildings.

Third will be learning to land helo's on the buildings once I get landing them down.

I bought a Blade400 for a first heli having never flown a helicopter in my life before, so i crashed it after 6 seconds. I got G4, and taught myself how to fly my Blade400. Now i have the Blade400 w/every aluminum part you can think of on it and a Trex450 that i am comfortable in flying :D had it not been for G4. i think i would have junked that Blade400 and started driving R/C Cars instead :eek:
 
I like landing helos on various places on top of the crane (in this case chase view is required) in that construction yard AP. Oh and landing on the tops of the parked cars & trucks is kinda fun too.

Also, landing on top of the racing pylons... sorry can't remember the name of that air racing AP with the big grandstands and grass field that comes with G5.

Definitely going into "outer space" with the Blackbird. Note the altitude on the pictures.

Bush Landings.

I like flying off the Dock at Alpine Lake and landing back on it with Brent’s G Super Cub. I land of the end of the dock and roll up the hill.

Coolest thing I've done? Yeah, I've landed on stuff. I've shot people down. I've even figured out heli's to an extent.

The coolest thing I've done in G5 is learn to fly the P-51 well enough that the guys thought the trainer was flying his plane while I did multiple touch and goes.

"heh, we though ole John was flying. You like those two wheel landings to were doing over and over?"

"eerrrmm I don't know. I thought I was just landing. Are two wheel landings bad?"

"Nah, actually they're alittle harder, especially for someone new...."

Win. Not a huge win, but a solid one as I see it.

Oh, yeah, that and I recognize more pilot errors in videos then I did a year ago. Mostly because I've experienced them in sim. I'm not saying that I wont make an error here and there, but it is easier (cheaper) to learn from other's mistakes due to simulator knowledge.
