Going around off a bounce can be very exacting. Probably the first time he has done one. With full flap a lot of forward pressure is required on the stick and best you stay in ground effect till you clean it up a bit and have a safe speed for the flap setting suiting your climb gradient. Always check you have full Power and carb.heat off. Trim out stick forces. Nev -
Night time is the smoothest at lower levels. Nev

Once Accountants get involved. Well you know the rest. Nev -
What a lot of rubbish, Generally. It's not something to joke about but always seems to happen with Pilots. It could have been a willy willy. Nev

I reckon it's near Had it. Have a Look around lids of 50 Litre Chemical containers and I think it may be a standard type. Looks sun damaged. Better formed thread than most applications. Nev

Different things entirely. IF you wanted one, you would NOT be looking at the other. The Inversion level is very likely to be well over 10,000 Feet in the Inland in daytime on a hot day and 160 K would give you a rough ride below it. Nev

It's there to cool the Pilot. Just watch them sweat when it stops. Nev

I really don't think it's enough of a challenge or roomy enough. Nev.

Folding the wings every time doesn't help a Gazelle. On a Hot day It won't go very high either. It might Bore you after a little while.. It WAS a Popular trainer for a Long time. Nev

A Gazelle is almost TOO easy to fly, but don't overspeed it. Nev

Not the turbo.,- It was a very new engine on the Market at the time and it "Lived" at Lethbridge. The Carbs were electrically heated. The Owner built the whole project, which was well done. Nev

Free flight Power ratio if your dethermaliser fails will often result in the Loss of the Plane. It glides so well. I built a thing caller "the Eliminator". Nev

Did the test Flying and quite a few Hours in a HKS Kiev Prop, Skyranger. Quite adequate Power even 2 up after test completed and required 25 Hours. Tended to run a bit hot and put in colder plugs. Seemed like a quality Product Very good Prop for thrust. Nev

Where's the scam? Haven't we already dealt with this Plane? I see NO connection between it's landing difficulties and yours to the extent that you have described them. Inconsistent results are from the wrong technique. You can't do it by Numbers. You have to respond to how the Plane reacts all the way. Nev

All it takes is a few IDIOTS to muck it up for everyone. Nev

Be careful what you wish for. Nev

Just something else to deter People from taking up flying. Nev

A Lot more than that involved. It's designed to fly at the edge of the Stratosphere and the Pilot s still in a space suit. Nev

Also one of the Most expensive Places I've been for food and accommodation. Nev

Nice Model. Nev
-
You should be able to work out a few reasons why. Nev

U 2's are notoriously hard things to land. Nev
-
Even More frequent. Nev
