It would be interesting to know his approach speed: when I flew one of these in Hawaii last year the instructor flew the approach at 80mph due to the 'vicious spin characteristics at the stall'
If this guy was taught the same nonsense speed, it's no wonder he needed a 6000 foot runway... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of D S Baker Sent: Tuesday, 15 April 2008 4:52 AM To: Aus Soaring Subject: [Aus-soaring] Sideslip landing I found this rather interesting. A fellow's flying a Schweizer SGS 2-32 in the US, and was practicing landing without divebreaks. He says somewhere in the comments that it was a 6000foot runway and he used almost all of it As with many of the other people that commented, I love the very innocent "Oh my gosh, what's he doing?" and "That was like, very umm..." It also makes you think about the good ol' days when this was common practice. Airbrakes? Luxury, we used to DREAM of havin' airbrakes...
