My instructor (25 years the owner/operator of said Chippie who is also an examiner and top bloke too) mentioned at the time some peoples penchant for slight brake set for taxying/takeoff/landing but he preferred to avoid it.
How do you set '2 notches' as in my 1 hour's experience,I seem to remember it didn't have any detents,only a little collar that was pushed down after firm pull for the application of the parking brake.
My thread certainly has stirred up some debate (not like Pprune
) but all interesting stuff-thanks all.
Really starting to think I need to decide my future direction in recreational flying-the Chippie is very appealing ( I've always like the look of Cubs as well-have built many well flying models of it).All the opening of cowlings, pulling ticklers,pumping primers right at the carb ( as opposed to plungers mysteriously connected to somewhere you can't see) adds greatly to the flying experience.
