dead stick - during aeros

Jeez BRL - I'd forgotten about that, it was April/May last year and was at a competition at Sandtoft.


Hundreds of years ago, I'd read about fishtailing (lots of energetic rudder) but of course today's point made by FNG about rolling counter to engine direction made EVEN more sense....dhoh!


V pleased that you had a go, even more pleased that you enjoyed it. As for feeling a little queasy, that is perfectly normal initially, even these days with others doing the flying I can become uncomfortable


The secret is gauging when you and/or pax have had enough, not having been to Hogwarts, I'm not clever enough to know so I either leave them gagging (for more) or gulping!

tKf and formationfoto being the most recent exceptions (I could have danced all day, I could have danced all night......!)
