Flex rides

OK Bloggs, this is your last flex ride before your GF retest.....

You'll note that the runway here has been specially designed to cater for your patent inability to compensate for power via use of the rudder during takeoff!

Here we see phase one of the New Labour London orbital airfield.
The scheme is intended to supercede the failed 'park and ride' initiative.

Bloggs was a little surprised to encounter relativistic space-time curvature so soon after take-off. Adding the dilithium warp engines had clearly transformed the performance of his humble taildragger.

Efforts = good so far.

Looking for succinct and pithy. Keep it going troops.

Will close bidding on Sunday evening around 21:00ish to allow A N Other to get a new one in for next week.

Nice take-off, Bloggs, but why aren't you co-ordinating aileron and rudder for the initial turn? And don't forget -- for the nav bit, it's CDMVT.

"I wouldn't be so smug about having cracked the take-off just yet, Bloggs...you've still got to clear the gap between the hedge and the powerline, and then get over the pylons in the distance!"

Early efforts to develop a constant QDM for runways close to the poles produced some interesting results
