legs do not wrap

your feet

the J-3

the peddle to

bobs up and

you let go,
| the J-3 will wonder all over the place, etc, etc. Plus, in
the Aeronca
| you can see where you are going, in the J-3, you cruise
around looking
| straight down because you have almost no in-flight,
forward vis.

but its
| somewhere around 38 mph.

Jeez, I would think an airplane's life would be pretty simple. You know,
go around and fly a bit, then land, repeat when asked to do so. I wonder
what they are thinking about, when they wonder about things, all over the
place. bfg (ducking, now! ;-))

Wow! Does that also mean that perpetual motion really exists and P
really does equal nP?

This is exactly what I need. I found the Champ document at this
website. Thank you very much, Robert.

No, it just means the installation error of the pitot tube exceeds the
TAS at the stall.

My little brother used to say that when he grows up, he wants to be a
firetruck. I'll ask him, since I think he's got some airplane friends.

Of course there is no operation manual for the J-3, but here are the
figures given me in ground school:

Cruise 73 mph
Top 83 mph
Stall 39 mph
Best glide 50 mph
Green arc 39-90 mph (of course, neither is there any green arc!)
Yellow arc 90-122 mph
Red line 122 mph

That said, I would *never* fly a 60-year-old Cub at 122 mph!

And looks, and resale value, and historical association ...
