The horiz. stab. even has the 'raked' tips!
Haha thats just gravy!


Flown a BN2 with a fully castoring nosewheel. It wasn't too bad other than during slow-speed ground handling (ie taxi!).
Direct pedal steering with the castor ability is by far the best though.

Did the Tri's get upgraded brakes of any sort? The Islander's are not too bad but the extra weight of the Tri must hurt them a bit. Someone mentioned earlier about landing them in tailwinds wasn't good. . .

Whats the MTOW of the Tri aswell? Surprised they didn't slap the 300HP injected Lyco's on instead.... 120 more ponies would have probably been good.


Great thread
