Flight...

Postby Mitch. » Sat Jul 21, 2007 7:27 pm

Yes I have a flight today. I don't know what we'll be doing but my last lesson we flew around the training area! Perhaps it will be circuit emergencies or forced landings! :D

I will report back here and tell you how it went! ;)

Wish me luck! ;D

Thanks, turns out I did steep turns! ::)

Pulling 60 degrees AoB and 2g's is quite tiring! 8-)

But all worth it in the end!  ;)

Cheers

Steep turns are the best. Much more fun than stalls.

Sounds like a good time.  Steep turns are some of my favorite things to do. 8-) ;)

90 at 4.4G's is enough for me, although we couldnt get the grob to do any more

No, you won't, even if you cheat it's very difficult...

Mmm, rated is one thing, practically being able to do it in a 180hp aircraft with 2 people in it isn't. It can be done, but not in level flight, as the speed just bleeds back too quickly.
