With any luck, someone would film it in black and white and it can be tacked on to that bit they show every time they want to make fun of early aviation! Bertie |

My son took a Young Eagle flight last year in a Citabria...after flying FsX. He loved it. It's an honest old airplane. It's been around in one form or another since WW2. Bertie I was jealous. I have a nice photo at sunrise while he's doing the preflight with the owner/Pic. Sigh. FIrst flights are special. |

I noticed that ex-navy guys never stepped on the ball, they moved the stick in the direction the ball needed to go. I asked one about this and he told me that's what you do to co-ordinate! Interesting. It works just as well and unless you're making a gross correction you'd never notice the difference. I guess it comes from a naval notion of the rudder being the primary control or something.. Holy ****, I thought it was me and my newbieness. I am working NAS JAX and spending time with the NAS and I get the same conversations. I think. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! |

My Instructor Pilot "balled" me out on that too (pun intended), he pointed out my turns were not properly coordinated because the ball went off center. Well the SOB aka IP (good fella all the way) explains that passengers have drinks on their little tables and a coordinated turn keeps them level, and won't spill! So he takes his plastic water bottle and sets it on his clip board that is even on his lap, then orders up some coordinated turns...10 , 20 , 30 degree banks, I thought that was a good lesson. Ken |

Bertie I'm looking forward to flying it. It's not the sexiest aerobatic airplane, but they're good fun.. Bertie Somehow I am not surprised, I am also a big Citabria fan and similarly describe them as 'honest'. IMHO they are best described as capable of 'limited areobatics' (+5-2) and their aerobatics are not severe or particularly 'high performance'. However the slower roll rate and low power force one to fly more elegant aerobatics and because the maneuvers are slower they are good training aircraft for slow thinkers like me who need time to notice what is happening. What model? Happy landings, |
