Thruster88 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The climbing side slip is never good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueadventures Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Booked a flight in the one at Ingham air show years ago.  All in a seated but pilots unable to start her.  A mate on board tried to help them as he did some time years prior on them. Was a no go so got off.  Heard later about a flight it did from Caboolture and only just got back to air strip. Have since deceived to give the experience a miss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Have a look at the grass near where the photographer is standing. Do I detect the indications of a tailwind?  Begs the question of why they didn't use the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 A bit closer to the road would have helped. Pretty safe aeroplane actually. Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) The climb rate is pretty poor, so I can only surmise they were very heavy, or power was down, or there was a tailwind. Whatever the combination, overall it's a poorly-planned and poorly-handled takeoff.  The aircraft was built in 1981, so it would no doubt have plenty of hours up. It's powered with a Shvetsov ASh-62, the Russian version of the Wright Cyclone R-1820, and who knows what the maintenance level was like on it.  https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20230708-0  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shvetsov_ASh-62  Edited July 11, 2023 by onetrack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
