Does your aircraft fit your flying style?

A hornet would be the (bees knees) in my book but 31 kt touch and goes in the the storch aint too bad for the money. Cheers Hargraves

68 kts today in perfect air at 3500' but I do think my prop is pitched wrong as well. Storches are differant than most for sure.

[ATTACH=full]50479[/ATTACH] Yep sure doesP2002 Tecnam Sierra

100kts cruise on 14lph, 6 hrs range & good payload

 

People used to say after I finished trike flying that 100kts won't be enough and I'd be looking for more

 

Well after 8 years triking at 60 kts and the last 4 1/2 years at 100, 100 is plenty enough for me as I'm 40 minutes ahead every hour in front of the trike

Love the P2002 as well. XC flight uses 18 ltr/hr . If i do a hour of circuits it does come down to 14 .

I always like the idea of leagues...being 3 nautical miles at sea but 3 miles on land...more or less, depending on which particular land.

What could possibly go wrong????...............

The Earth is flat remember.....careful what ruler you use:-) if the Earth was round like most people foolishly believe then rulers would be bent also...loo

Yep. And 500years of Mercator projections has left us with a totally distorted view of what that flat world looks like:

After four hang gliders (still have Moyes SX4), three trikes, a Quicksilver GT400, Cessna 150A (which I converted to a Texas tail dragger), Corby Starlet I have settled on paragliders/ paramotor and Jabiru UL450. The UL450 gives me plenty of challenge two seats, some luggage and economy - 100 knots at 13-14 litres per hour.

How about your taxiing style?   LOL

That would be fun, align the plane with the way you are going by a burst of throttle. Easier in an RV8 than most other aircraft due to the good visibility.

To stop you turn with throttle and rudder until you are going backwards, then throttle to reduce speed.
