| 817880 | 2009-10-08 01:25:00 | Sorry Jimm - you will have to excuse our western member for a day or three prefect is fizzing at the bung a little - he has put his name forward for the test flights then he read the engine-out glide angle. (Not too good, his favourite bus may do better.) |

| 817883 | 2009-10-08 22:10:00 | As I recall it, flying does not require you to put your foot on the ground immediately you stop. Hand signals, a bell, and a rear reflector are not compulsory either. There are a few other differences, but they aren't as important I suppose. In the event of engine failure in the Gruesome Strainer (AA1) (en.wikipedia.org), immediately jettison the tool box to reduce landing weight. Do not pick a landing spot, you are over it. Immediately on landing, run quickly away from the aircraft, because a tool box will be arriving quite soon. |

Immediately on landing, run quickly away from the aircraft, because a tool box will be arriving quite soon. I was told the same thing when flying the NZ made Micro Aviation Bantam B22. If the engine quits throw your Rotax 582 tool bag over side because thats where you are going to put down. They are high drag so gliding around humming and haaing about fields long enough or into wind wasn't really an option. To be fair with flaps right down the stall speed was only around 30 mph so you were not going to crash into mother earth at an alarming speed. In fact when doing training in stalls it was hard to stall it, throttle right back stick right back it just sort of mushed down a bit. Rx I dont think many people got your Gruesome Strainer joke I might not of as well if its not Grumman Trainer. |
