Very nice flight this morning

/snip/ I've only experienced wet wings in one glider (one of the club two-seaters) but I've read some things about it, and the most striking thing is how differently different airfoils will respond to being wet. /snip/ I used to keep a C150 on a tie down. On an annual, the A&P warned me it's important to check that the surface and fuselage drains are clear. As soon as you think about it, you realize the effect of just a quart or two of water sloshing aft on a climb out. Another time, after a snowfall in Dallas (!!) the tail drooped down to the ground.... Poor abused airplane! Brian W |
