dutchroll Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Extract from the "Normal Procedures" section of the POH (which I wrote myself) from my radial taildragger: "WARNING - Forward visibility from the cockpit is poor. Exercise caution during taxi." Guessing she missed that bit in hers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camel Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Tracy may be a lot like Amy, I read the book on Amy Johnson and she did bend her plane a few times, the funniest part of the book was her landings were referred to as arrivals. Amy is still my hero as she never gave up and fulfilled her dreams. I hope Tracy does do the trip, I think it great to see people take on an adventure, I would not have the guts to do what she wants to do. Good on her, hope she don't wreck too many more aircraft, LOL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Should never have happened. That is about the first law of taildraggers, weave to see where you are going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
