I only flew a C-150 once, did most of my primary in a C-172, and don't remember my CFI telling me to lead my turns. john smith wrote: That's because neither you nor your instructor were/are taildragger pilots. Bob Noel wrote: Is leading the turn something a taildragger has to do on the ground? That is correct. You see, because you sit in the front of the airplane and the wheel that steers is attached to the back of the airplane, if you want to change direction, you will want to be there before the tailwheel gets there. Failure to do so results in what is commonly referred to as a ground loop. :-)) so why did Jay's son complain about leading a turn? -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |
