Old Koreelah Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 Bugger! One windy night at Temora almost every tent was flattened while people were away at dinner. 1
CT9000 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Engine fail in high drag low inertia such as Thruster is still not as hard to manage as engine fail in a pusher eg. Drifter because a Thruster will lower the nose anyway but a Drifter will pitch up on power loss. If you are climbing at best angle (50kt.) best rate (50kt.) best glide (50kt.) the pitch up on power loss will very quickly kill the airspeed, remembering that you are close to stall anyway, will need a rapid and positive response. 1
facthunter Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 True. You need to adjust attitude relative to the horizon quickly and not respond to feel alone. YOU make the plane do what it must do. You fly it. Not the other way around.. Nev 1
