(Pulls foot out of mouth.)

Ok, qwerty isn't the O/P. It is destiiny flyer.

Oh well.

Sorry.

qwerty,

I suggest you ask the instructor who saw it to help you.

If it is a tail dragger, when it is at low speed, the attitude will be higher than if it is a trike model.

This will increase the lift component more with full power; and having full flaps it will really increase the attitude.

As I said earlier, it would be nice to know all the right terms of what happened. However, you did the right thing, so at that "level" it is accademic the terms for what happened.

If you don't make mistakes, you don't learn. ;)

Hang on.

A tail dragger Jab?

So, with full flap, you got the backside off the ground then started a steep climb?

That is confusing.

Because to get into a steep climb, the backside would be down - probably on the ground.

However, as it has been said by a couple of people already:

You learnt something and are not dead. That is good.

Whether it was stalled flaps, or "what ever", you felt what the plane was doing, reacted correctly and it works/ed.

"Next time" you will know what is happening sooner and avoid it. THAT IS WHAT MATTERS - in my opinion.

Sure, it would be nice to know the full story, but I would suggest YOU do the leg work and talk to your instructor - who saw this happen, right?

I am saying this because other people haven't seen what happens, and though you are explaining it as best you can, the old "Chineese whisper" problem occures and this compunds the error/diagnosis.

Fly safe.

Folks,

Although usually the first weekend of each month is "Lunch with the tigers", this weekend there is a big RAAF component.

There will be a lot going on.

Accomodation is possible, but ring Jamie Campbell first to check.

Ok, yes it is short notice.

THIS weekend - the one which starts tomorrow.

YWOL - Luskintyre (overnight) fly back sunday.

ONE spare seat.

Cost: $30-ish dollars for accomodation and food.

PM me if interested.

Oh,

*IF* you intend to come/attend, please let Jamie know so he knows how many people are coming and how many to cater for.

PH (SMS) 0418 628 321

This coming weekend - 1 & 2 August.

Luskintyre. 3 NM-ish west of YMND.

All welcome.

Ok, touching base.

Hi again folks.

Ok, I've sent out the e-mail with attachments.

I know I should know to whom I have sent the file, but I'm having "one of those days".

So far I have:

Destiny Flyer

Orienteer

Icebob

I am sure I sent it to others.

If you don't mind, PM me your e-mail and I'll add it so when any updates happen/come, I'll send them to you.

Ian, I am not trying to out do you. I am saying this until the problem is resolved that half the people still can't unzip the file.

Slarti, I know I may have yours, but if you don't mind.

A guy is going shopping.

To make it quicker, he cuts through the cemetary.

He sees 4 men with a coffin walking along. He doesn't think much of it as that would be expected. Someone has died and is being burried.

He does his shopping and is walking home via the same route.

He sees the same 4 people with the same coffin.

He thinks to himself, "They've lost the plot."

I thought it was funny.

Good to hear.

Update to all also:

I think that the Flight planner spread sheet is NOT the latest.

It kind of got "stuck" in my drafts box and updates were done in the mean time.

Once I get checks that they all work and who/how many I'll send the latest to all.

Ok folks.

I hope I sent the file to ALL who want it.

If you didn't get it, PM me and give me your e-mail address.

Kiwi,

Correct.

Anyway, catch you later.

Thanks.

Just read it.

Problem: I'm back home.

It kinda didn't happen the way I liked.

Weather bad, got stuck at Leeton, then got stuck at Forbes.

Had to "back track" - kinda and head home as I have to work tomorrow.

BUT!

NEXT WEEKEND! Luskintyre flyin. Lunch with the tigers.

Try to come down Sat and or Sunday.

Saturday is the big day and I hope to get there before 12:00 and shall leave on Sunday about 13:00

Slarti,

Wanna send me your e-mail address and I can send you the "Whole enchalada"?

Private message ofcourse.

Folks, only for the sake of trying to determin what is going on.

Let me know.

:kboom:

Ok, as I said: No offence Ian.

Folks, as it seems many are having problems getting the file/s how about you send me a private message and when I have a few, I'll send it off to you all?

Good idea?

Folks,

Seems there are still problems.

If someone could help me on how to put it on another site where we could all get to them.

(NO offence Ian.)

I have a goooooogle account but don't know how to put things there for others to access.

Anyone able to help me?

Hi folks.

I've uploaded a newer version of the X-Wind calculator.

Note to all: It shows CROSS WIND. Read the stuff in the post in downloads.

(I hope this works)

Quick thing:

Seems I didn't do enough work on the runway crosswind calculator.

Sorry folks.

Work to happen ASAP.

Kiwi,

Kia ora Bro'.

Hi folks!

I've just uploaded a couple more of my efforts.

A new/er version of the flight planner. Read the stuff with the file for what has changed.

And a runway crosswind calculator.

I hope these work.

Everyone enjoy.

Well folks, it is Tuesday night.

3 days to departure.

Alas as I haven't heard anything, I shall have to close applications.

The last thing I want is last minute changes. That is when safety is compromised.

Well, as possible as that may be GraemeK, 99.9% of others land WITH landing lights on and the windows open and I can see the lights from within.

Though expecting anyone else to have seen THAT particular plane is pretty low, I was asking if anyone had a GOOD reason why it wasn't landing with landing lights and bugger all other lights.

Ian,

Sorry, not got the handle on private messages yet.

:baldy:

So is it worth me trying to upload the two files again?

Oh, and is there a "mates" thing or something? How do I use it?

(yeah, vaillage idiot asking.)

OK, sorry more details:

RPT. 73 at a guess.

(2 engine jet)

So, ok, you could say 310, 320, 330 767.

But the size 330 or 767 probably not.

Oh, landing RWY 16R YSSY
