    Hi I thought that some of you guys would like to see this seem like it could be a future engine for rec aircraft. FLYER GA News :: Tecnam introduces new diesel engine

    I don't think there are many of the sport crusier in Australia. One of the members here is training in one over west.i have nerver flown a Jab or a sportcrusier. there is a show on the net called full flap TV on the net that does a story on the factory where they come from. If you watch the show tell if you notice anything about the female reporter. Paul

    good on ya. :thumb_up: I am changing over from GA to rec and my first take off in a tecnam s2002 was very interesting i was not expecting it to go left in a hurry and i was not on the ball and the right rudder peddel. so we where heading for the runway lights and i thought no problem i will just pull it into the air. i was pulling up and she was pushing down. but in the end i did get off the ground with all the runway lights intact. After that i was for the Tecnam take off rudder boot. Paul

    i went last year and loved it. But i am not able to make it this year as i have to go to temora the week after for flt training. So have fun boys and girls.

    I have found that in a tecnam s2002 that it's very important to ge the trim right when on final or it can go outside VFE fast. I have seen some training videos from the US where they teach full flap approch stalls something thats not done here i think. Paul

    Since i was the one who opened this can of worms. I should say this. I have had good instructors and one who spent more time thinking of there forthcomming Job at the airlines. the person who tested me for my GFPT A very good pilot called John lindsey. showed me that best way was not to let the wing drop by keeping it all centre. I still have less than one hundred hours and try to aviod stalls by flying the aircraft proply and if i want to go out and do stalls i will be talking a instructor with me. Paul

    When i first sarted flying in 99 i was told to never use Aileronto pick up the wing after the stall. now i was reading the Jim davis PPL book and he says its ok to use the Aileron to help recover from a stall? shafs64
