A Moth is over rated???
I did my ppl on a Tiger. The adverse yaw taught me the correct use of my feet. After the Tiger I flew the wonderful DH60 Gypsy. The handling was gorgeous after the Tiger and far better than the Stearman.
The Stearman needed pushing to where I wanted it, the Gypsy responded to a delicate touch and positively purred when stroked.
Both Lady Heath and Amy Johnson flew DH60's However I found this recently.
"An interesting story from that flight is that when she requested the British Air Ministry for a plane to lead her across the Mediterranean sea, she was denied.
Not to be defeated, she asked Benito Mussolini for an escort plane. He agreed on the condition that she share her experiences with him. In failing health in her last years, Lady Heath was destitute when she died."
The link is here
Lady Sophie Mary Heath (1897-1939), Pioneer Aviatrix so maybe British aviation's Waltess in Chief"s flight was more authentic than we thought.
I do wonder though, when will she answer the questions asked? And apologise for her trashing of GA?
