Bruce Tuncks Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Nice, but I bet the prop alone would cost more than ten Jabirus.
red750 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 The Gannet had double-fold wings for carrier stowage.
pmccarthy Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Only one still flying in the world, lady owner, only one pilot qualified to fly it. Saw it at Oshkosh two years ago.
deadstick Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 The LAZAIR is a twin engine plane and they are currently on the RAA register so its not really a big leap forward....
SSCBD Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 The LAZAIR is a twin engine plane and they are currently on the RAA register so its not really a big leap forward.... so where is the twin endorsement in raa, or am I missing something
Admin Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Only one still flying in the world, lady owner, only one pilot qualified to fly it. Saw it at Oshkosh two years ago. Wouldn't the person signing off the pilot be also qualified to fly it, and who signed that person off....hmmmmm chicken and egg Seriously how would that work
facthunter Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 IF you don't design a twin properly it can be much more dangerous than a single. Since the engine(s) are generally the major cost items you are increasing the expense profile, for what? A twin has to be quite overpowered with both operating to fly on one, and IF it doesn't fly on one it's a single with two chances of engine failure happening. Nev 5
