Was that you in the hot seat, Kyle?

Yes that was me flying the simulator...It was a eye opening experience it was a lot harder than I thought up and down is easy coaxing the bird in roll and yaw is the hard bit

Your co pilot seem't twitchy - increased workload ? - saw the first landing - be firm and show who's the boss

 

How much $ did that cost plus time - and where - Kyle

 

Thanks

Hey I was all consumed just trying to lug it around its very different to a normal light aircraft...he had to earn his money doing all the other stuff. The first attempt I couldn't get it lined up hence the go around then the second attempt I dropped it on the edge of the runway and the third was much better but still a fair dump but at least i was getting used to it by then the small wiggles thing is what you must do otherwise the enertia takes you too far the wrong way. It was back in 2007 and if I remember it was about $190 NZ it is located at Tauranga airport they use it for airline pilot training...and us mad tourists of course who want to try to fly a commercial jet

It looks like a lot of fun but I had better use my pennies to complete my real flying lessons :big_grin: .
