Plane 172 fun video
NOTE Student did NOT know I was videoing until after the plane was put to bed. I purposely did not tell him as I did not want to add to any distraction factor. Nice. What do you think of this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_8KnBStSoM Seems crazy. -c |

Nah, just one of those new high performance C172s with "racing tires" Even one better! Less parasitic drag from the lack of ridging of treads! Better performance! Better performance? Dimple them like golf balls... Dang, dimple the wings. There is a tape you can get that will do just that. You can glue it onto your prop as well. And yes Larry, it IS legal Bertie |

I have never heard of using on a prop, but most of my time is in gliders. You can buy the magic stuff he (About halfway down the page http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page29.htm ) Vaughn |

You had to cyano it ot the prop and apparently it was hard to keep there. A little rain and t was off. They advocated putting it on all the struts and gear legs, to. Claimed considerable performance increases. Bertie |

Guy's got balls where his brains need to be, but, he knows how to keep it on the centerline. Doesn't look like he knows what his feet are for, though. A little hard to be sure since my as wasn't actually on the seat, but I got a definite sensation of being driven around as opposed to being flown around. Made me kinda nauseous! Bertie |

As an instructor, I couldn't help noticing the length of the float on landing, and the tiny pitch change after landing. I think, based on the little I could see, that the approach was very fast, the pilot flared very close to the surface and floated in ground effect for a thousand feet and touched down still fast and therefore flat. It's a common problem in flight training, and often the instructors just let it happen. Many of them do the same thing. And the ditches or fences at the end of the runways continue to claim airplanes. Dan |
