Vev Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Has anyone had a fly of the new 170D Jab yet? Cheers Vev
dazza 38 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Hi Vev, i read the article on Jabbachat about the test flying of her.Looks good with the longer nose and redesigned fin.
Vev Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 Yes it does look good and seems to address all of the handling issues that has been raised by some. I will have to go and find one to hire for an hour and try for myself. Cheers Vev
turboplanner Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The old design flew very smoothly until a gust of wind hit it on one side, then you were a helicopter. Just from looking at it I don't think you would be ask likely to run out of rudder authority and be at the mercy of the long wing leverage.
winsor68 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I too have not flown a new one... I reckon if they just stuck an extra 20 or so hp they would have one of the best aircraft around with it's range.
