Oct 8, 2018 · I've been reading about Fly Babies and after reading the wing fold procedure, I am left wondering it it is actually easier than removing the wings. On the other hand, the Sonex Onex, Avid Flyers and Kitfoxs have a wing folding mechanism that one person can fold or …

Feb 22, 2005 · You can do a standard flight review (which doesn't get Wings credit), you can do the new, standardized flight review that gets one credit, or you can simply do standard Wings (3 courses, 3 flight credits) to get the equivalent of a flight review.

Aug 12, 2012 · What else are they not looking at? Fwiw, I believe that's actually your elevator trim, which is even scarier. The rudder trim is a screw that works against the bar the pedals are on. I had the same issue with the rudder trim. Once we got the plane to fly wings level, he adjusted the rudder a bit to get the trim more centered.

Mar 22, 2017 · Mid wing will usually be more efficient aerodynamically. Interference drag tends to be higher with high wings. Tends. High wing retracts suck. If you cantilever the wings, the carrythrough is sometimes easier with a low wing. Low wings can be more floaty. The first cantilever wing airplane was built by Junkers in 1915.

Dec 17, 2021 · By now I am sure everyone has seen the video of the Crop Duster whose wings snapped off. This is the 2nd incident I am aware of where dumping water resulted in the wings folding. The former being the C-130 repurposed for fire fighting. I don't understand the physics. Why would quickly making...

Feb 23, 2005 · Hey guys, looking for some answers here... How many of y'all have pilot wings of some sort (I mean physical wings, like a pin or something). Is this one of those things that you don't buy yourself, and instead earn somehow? Or one of …

Aug 2, 2013 · It's a hard lesson to believe but it'll fly smoother if you stop trying to fix it. Let up on the yoke a little and the let plane find level. Even Hershey bar wings have dihedral to keep it stabile. Every time I get some dual when I'm getting back flying in the Spring the turbulence is always bad for the first few hours. It's me.

Jun 22, 2012 · Hi everyone I am almost ready to take the next step in my slow moving aviation experience. I want to buy a C140 (hopefully with metalized wings) to build some time and attend the local fly-ins How would i compare a c140 to the 152 that i trained in? any input, thoughts,or stories would be...

Jan 25, 2025 · We started out with biplanes and figured out a way to delete one of the wings. They got rid of the top one and left the obviously superior low-wing design, leaving the high wings to the lumbering bombers and low-speed observation pilots.

Jun 24, 2011 · After spending 80 or so hours and 180 landings in a Cherokee, I decided to check out the 150. Mr. Kanne, the checkout CFI, took me up, made me do engine-outs and stalls, then pronounced me fit to rent. But I felt it quite difficult, so I was getting to airport during lunch and taking the 150...
