elevator /pitch control
There was a story in S&G some years ago about a ASW 20 sucessfully landed
without damage by use of flap changes; the pilot had read the manual. Following the fatal crash of a Cessna 150/150 hp two plane, due to a burned throughj elevator cable, two of us tow pilots experimented with pitch trim on the Citabria. WE concluded that a good landing is possible (one that you walk away from) with use of trim and power. No we did not try a landing. Here is a reason for buying a ship with aerodynamic trim, not just a spring on the stick. John Firth, Ottawa |
