dazza 38 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Nice Carl. Its a shame there is no door is on the Port side .He wouldnt have to do a 180 with a paddle.lol
Riley Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Tight squeeze whot? Do you reckon those water-filled ruts along the embankment are from when he mis-calculated the X-wind on a previous arrival? There used to be an aviation sales/service depot in Southern Ontario, Canada that had about the same sized man made "ditch strip" immediately alongside a conventional dirt strip which didn't appear to leave much room for last minute adjustments to either mode of arrival. Wouldn't be comfortable with either of them. I like my 1500M X 50M ex WW11 bomber runway in the middle of a 250acre paddock.
kaz3g Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 It is tight, and I'd not try it, but he has obviously done it many times before. Small, light, low stall and highly manouverable plus good stick and ruder from the pilot. kaz
