Slingsby T61F Venture
Hi all,
Im looking for as many pictures of the cockpit/instrument layouts of Slingsby T61F Ventures.
Would really apreciate your help and if possible I'm looking to get as many as possible (in as big a resolution as possible) in the next couple of days.
Do any of you fly / have flown one?? Can you help?
Kind Regards in advance all,
6up

Cheers Mark 1,
Yes thats the only one I could find on google too, Its just to print out and use as a paper cockpit to practice procedures on, so dosent need to be huge but the bigger and clearer the better,

Don't know how far you are from Shenington, but you could give them a ring and ask if you could take a few pikkies yourself.
I dropped in there a while back and they are a friendly bunch - none of this 'power pilots are a lower life form' nonsense. They were more than happy to arrange a brief T61 taster flight for me on the spot - and very reasonable prices too ;-)

Only today I was talking to one of the instructors from Enstone and have decided I'm going to give one a try. Not bothered about low cruising speed just want to fly. Been playing with Eurostars at Wycombe but my old brain tends to let the radio chat get the better of my concentration on a busy day so I'm going to try Enstone for a slower pace of life.

It won't climb very well at 60.... Climb at 50 is what I was always taught and what I always do.
Cruise at 60.... sometimes 65 at a push
Approach between 55 and 65 depending on conditions. I'm sure POH suggests a 50 knot approach speed.

All the write ups I've seen say 56knots or 60 mph. I'd say that's about right as 56 knots comes out at 64 point something silly mph. So 60 is a good round number to work with.

best approach speed is minimum 55 kts plus half the wind speed.
best climb is 50 knots - 45 knots works in the winter but can lead to overheating in the summer
60kts cruise is a mile a minute so keeps the maths easy - can be pushed beyond this but doesnt really like much past 67kts

Before every flight, first 5 minute in the cockpit is instrument re-familiarization
Enjoy your learning, I found the German-built version a joy to fly.
