You do the right thing. Get, (consult) the experts on the Ground and it still BITES you. PS the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) actually says "Don't SINK" but you know what Pilots are. Nev

That's the 2 two seat versions of the Auster Range.. They didn't have flaps. 90 Hp Motor, usually a Cirrus Minor. Nev.

The GPWS says "Don't think, Don't think" Nev

I remember that Happening . It was a 2 seat version. Archer or Aiglet. Nev

Can you confirm what you mean, space. Nev

Just ADD the Mirrors and that's what we now Have. Nev

WE have progressed beyond that . It's not a good "Terms of Reference" base. Undershoot means any THING that would ACT to make you land short. We can Collectively work our way through this, but if you are not careful, some confusion may result which WE do NOT want. Nev

Windshear is the difference between freestream at Height and ground level wind velocities. You'll notice on a x wind approach the Crab needed to stay on the Centerline "should" reduce (a bit) near the Ground.. Nev

Do you have ANY IDEA How long it would take to explain THAT properly? IF you really don't KNOW you are a rather lucky Boy that you haven't found out the Hard way. I suggest you brush up on it because it's only getting worse with some of the weather the World is getting.. It's a HAZARD to all forms of aviation. Nev

The Caliper itself has to float freely, too. Not too clear in the Vid. A disc brake assembly can end up quite weighty. Something from a Mountain Bike should be OK. You don't require sustained High energy braking in most normal ops Clevelands are Drum. A good form of brake Could be in the wheel as a multi Plate clutch as some larger aircraft brakes are. Nev

I wouldn't think THAT is the case. If the wheel bearings get loose, THAT will straight away give you pedal travel before brake application. A "floating disc" reduces the effect of disc warpage (Shuddering.) U/Ls don't need Brakes like race cars have, but they need to be reliable. ( Like when the plane in front of you stops or you're turning close to things) The DH 82 didn't HAVE Brakes . Nev

Balsa with good thin Plywood glued each side side would be excellent. Nev

Lack of pressure, also.(Not pack) Yours are designed to handle water Any bit of wobble will move the discs away . Nev

Best used to be 5 by 5. Scale 1 to 5. Nev

Nothing pulls the Pads back. The pack of pressure should be enough for them to turn freely. Nev
