damkia Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Aeronautical golf........all fine until the wind takes you into the bush....... Seriously, look at the powerlines nearby, and I doubt that tower is self supporting (guy wires?). Then consider some of the landings and turn-arounds to take off - was it a landing with a tailwind or a take off with a tailwind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Communications Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I liked the way he used his flaps on some of those landings and takeoffs to pump it off the ground 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 First time I flew a Cherokee I thought it was an old fashioned dunger with the flap lever, after a few hours in them and a 185 I reckon it's the best thing for flap control, you can pull on more or dump them so quickly, no waiting for electric motors to do their thing! Did a flying comp with a spot landing ,young instructor was a bit surprised to see me dump the flaps for a nice positive touch down , not for everyone but it certainly works well!

pylon500 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Highlander I think Nah ,just a Rans S-7, but I'm not sure what engine he has in it, almost sounds like a two stroke? OK, just found another video, and it shows a Rotax 912S... with three blade Warp Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongie Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 you would be shot for doing that here in the land of the bubblewrapped masses.. I for one believe that if you want to fly (or ride, or drive, or whatever your chosen hobby is) like you mean it, and its not going to hurt anyone but you, go for it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza 38 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 The undercarrage Legs in the video give it away as being a Rans S7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Nice aeroplane, may be registered 'experimental' due to not comforming with FAR103, as being above 254 lbs ?. even some 2-place Drifters over there need to be N registered for the same reason. Can be flown with a recreational pilot license..........................................................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
