Re: Just resuming training

I've been keeping an eye on that trusty old board, and as things are now it will be a good opportunity for me to "escape". Got my mother in law flying in from the UK on the 12th to stay with us for a month. (**) So I should be meeting up with you lads at the S&R on the 13th. vhpy vhpy What time will...

Re: Just resuming training

Thanks for the info, at least one has a small idea of what to expect come the time. I'm hoping to be up tomorrow (weather permitting).

Ditto
The wind has kept me grounded for the last 2 weeks as well. :( Did you do all the exams in one day and how long was it to do them all, hour wise? OH and congratulations on passing. (^^) (^^)

Bundy

As we discussed, I will be there depending on where we have it. I am as you know in PTA so anywhere from Rhino park to Brits is always great. (^^)

Aaaah, t-bird, I nearly pissed myself when I read your comment, :lol: :lol:
But that is a very interesting assumption all the same.

Hey Jet Ranger
This is a very interesting chart indeed. What it basically tells me from the tiny representation of the trike. Turbulence is scary in a trike compared to the others. vhpy vhpy vhpy

Re: Who know the answer to this one?

Hi Christian It seems that what you say is a golden rule. I am being taught the same thing, to relax that is. The only problem seems to be training one's mind and instinct that will normally fight the aircraft and turbs ## to just relax. I find that loosening your grip works well for me now and if I...

Re: Who know the answer to this one?

Hi Guys I'm doing the Mpl WCM (Trikes) at the moment and will complete it. I then want to do a conversion onto CCM (3 Axis) so that I can be rated on both. BUT when it comes to splashing out the loot on a plane for myself, I need to think carefully as to which one. My misses went up for an intro fli...

Certainly a man or men after my own heart. vhpy Thanks John, I think we will fly safe, I certainly have a huge amount of respect for these flying machines as I'm sure all the other newbies do as well. (I hope) You just have to take a look through the "Accident/Incident reporting" link to remind your...

Who know the answer to this one?

Anyone who might be able to tell me which aircraft handles better in more turbulent conditions. eg trike or something like a Thunderbird or Bantam? Two completely different aeries but which of them is more forgiving in such conditions? Sorry for what seems to be a dumb question for most of you, but ...
