    I probably used the wrong words. I still had my feet firmly on the pedals. Just let the plane crab / weather cock into the wind with wings level and straighten out before touchdown wind side wheel contacting the runway first. This was with an instructor with decades of teaching people, I didn't teach myself.

    Not sure what the caution is for nev.

    When I worked on a charter boat the person in charge of the bait station was the masterbaiter.

    Why did they do that. I spoke to an ag pilot years ago . He said the cotton crop made the horizon hard to make out when flying over it so low at night.

    I am not insulting you. Sorry if it reads that way. I am just saying you love arguing. Maybe I should have said you love debating.

    The xair has no flaps but tons of drag. I can hit the piano keys at 300 ft high and cut the throttle and drop down quickly. It's like putting the brakes on. I try to come in high for that reason. If I tried a long shallow approach like normal ac I would land half a mile short if the Rotax quit. 😁

    Did lots of crosswind landings at tooradin. Almost every landing is and yes crabbed in there on quite an angle then straighten up before touchdown. Never thought of it as a slip though. Just relaxed feet on the rudder and let the AC weathercock

    He could show you 100 percent success results and you would still argue about something. You just enjoy arguing😁

    Actually if you do some searching you will find a company in the US that is broad acre spraying with drones. I think they have 3 working at a time. Nice setup on a custom built semi .

    If saying don't get him started on Rotax is nasty I am guilty. I didn't think it was that bad. I think this is one of the best behaved groups on the net. We have a few digs but for the most part everyone gets along fine. You give out lots of good information and great stories from your flying days but you are very dismissive of anyone else's opinion. But it's not the end of the world.

    Rubbish was probably the wrong word. I just think you are writing drones off without allowing for the technology advances. They will only get bigger and better.
  12. BrendAn
    Rubbish. Watch this space. Drones will be the future. Cost come down as volumes increase

    That's why I like 19 category.

    sorry. but you actually make some of us scared to post anything for fear of getting shot down in flames. you would have been a good fighter pilot.😀 a couple of lighthearted comments are nothing to get upset about.

    and ford built the gt40 and blew the doors off ferrari. no substitute for cubic inches

    raaus are losing l2s for a similar reason. now they are making the l2 responsible for the aircraft he does a condition report on . he may not even be present when the aircraft is test flown and may be in for the fight of his life if something goes wrong.

    Nothing unusual to sell products. Remember when Bathurst was race on Sunday sell on Monday. People weren't expected to go racing in their new falcon or Kingswood so the race had no relevance to them.

    I have done sideslip training with 3 different instructors. I just haven't done it right down to the runway.

    well it was one of trent palmers videos and he has a pretty good reputation. you could look it up yourself. was your zephyr a mk1, 2 or 3. the mk 3 had triple su carbys if i remember correctly.

    That's like utube I watched on the epic turboprop. They said side slipping an epic gains nothing because they are so slippery from every angle it doesn't create much drag.
