Stall spin during aero tow? Std cirrus
I know, I have seen radios as low as $250. A decent used Becker or Dittel 25kHz unit can be picked up in Europe for 100-150 Euros, so the 'high cost' argument is BS. Uli 'AS' |

Kirk I would think a simple fabricated tray with hold down and a mechanic's logbook entry would be sufficient. -- Dan, 5J I asked the tug pilot for 5Kn more last week and he said "At the rev limit"...Ballasted Ventus behind a Euro fox with fine prop to optimise towing 2 seaters.I was at 60 Kn so not too marginal. You cannot beat a pawnee but you can break the bank using them There's a device known as a throttle that helps with this. Suggest your towing organisation gets these installed and trains your tug pilots in its use. |

Well, maybe the pitch of the prop is such that 60 KIAS is his maximum
speed at the rev limiter and it's a fixed pitch prop.Â* If that's the case, then pitching down won't accomplish much other than to have the rev limiter shut off the ignition.
