    true .................. you could also use a rock on the end of a piece of rope ........... as well ........... just discussing the technique of a landing, though

    There's a fair bit of talk in another thread about approach speeds for landing What about braking - if you have brakes - apart from brake testing at initial taxi and return to hangar ............. may be a dab after flare to see if they are there How much do you rely on brakes after flare ? Seems to me best way is try and not rely on brakes to make the plane fit the strip ............... just in case those brakes are not there or are not as good as you thought they were ?

    good point Kasper .............. on reflection most will stall their planes at least once every flight

    we were so poor that the power utility was never paid so we just resigned ourselves to watching television in the dark

    only if the town planner catches you - even then they might not know the difference (I doubt the land owners would care)

    there would n't be a fracas if aviatrix's described aviators aircraft enclosures as a cockpit any reputable pet shop would probably also sell a pussy enclosure (probably different descriptive words) its just the political correctness thingy (BUT $25k !)

    interesting point - an air cooled engine with a power on approach - a steeper approach is more difficult to achieve with a water cooled motor all you do is go to idle power is this correct logic ?

    I learnt in the tomahawk and my instructors and I did many spins - they actively taught them in 1983 ? ............... They even told me to go up solo and do spins which was done after I got my ppl I used to take thrillseekers up to do spins (in hindsight probably not a good idea) I think then the NZ authority directed no more spins in the tomohawk so that stopped - a pilot thereafter died when his tomohawk went into the sea from circuit height - cause not known I'd gladly do some spins again - with an instructor though first off

    Take the strobe / light thingy off the wing tip and have a giz in there ............ assuming there is no vent disconnect - just pushed in There should be say 10 mm of black plastic vent tube protruding out rear of wing tip fairing - sounds like vent tube has been pushed in ?
