wrote: As you're landing, you're reducing power and speed which in turn reduces each one of the above effects causing you to use less right pedal, or perhaps even a little left pedal to keep it straight or from going to the right. That's very likely the case. In the most recent instance, the left rudder pedal had been re-rigged since the last time I'd flown the Cub, or at least since last winter, and the swage left a fuzz of wire bristles that kept catching on my winter sneakers, which are high-top Nikes with a Gore-tex lining and waffle-stomper soles. As a result, I simply couldn't use the left brake, and I went off the runway into the grass after a three-point landing. Coming home, I landed on two wheels, you bet! The first thing I did when I got home was to get out the Leatherman tool and bevel off the sole of both sneakers at the widest part of the ball of the foot. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |
