Cessna Vs Building
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 8:25 amHey all,
I decided to test another of my crazy was of flying (for those of you who have seen my threads "a Different Way To Takeoff..." etc you'll know what I mean.)
This time, it was a Cessna 172, which would attempt to takeoff from a building about 50-100ft high, and not exactly suited for aircraft to takeoff from it.
Here are the pics:
Ready on the building, as far back as I could go...
Applying power.....
30 KIAS..... this doesn't look promising....
We're off! I left the building at 45KIAS and pitched down, then pulled back to try and gain height......
And away and climbing, living to fly onwards....
...to my next mad theory.
Thanks for looking!
