You need better videos to sell more aircraft: Show 3 turn spins, 45-60-degree banked wing overs, side slips to landing etc... Show the side slips from both inside and outside of the aircraft, the outside viewpoint would be very exciting. In fact you should get a proper zooming video camera to show the outside view of all the mentioned flight maneuvers: that's exciting!!!!! Maybe even an aircraft to aircraft view point. Make sure to Push the limits to show/prove it is very capable and yet forgiving! Maximum side slip looks SOOO cool from a ground view. Make your aircraft out to be "fun"damentally exciting" and capable and prove of its airframe strength! Are you afraid to break it? The answer should be a "proven" absolute resounding NO and Watch this! Show us that you have full faith in your craft should you get into some really really bad turbulence. Prove of your full confidence beyond any shadow of a doubt with your own ass in the seat! Do a loop and a roll even, legal or not! That's how you sell aircraft!
That’s great advice. I’m training in this aircraft right now and it’s an absolute blast. Your comment reminds me of what my CFI has told me several times. We were actually practicing some extreme slips today to get me familiar with rudder operation. I was tentative and would overreact and over control when I made a mistake. My instructor took the plane from me and said watch. Then proceeded to wing over in a 60 degree bank and pull a few Gs. He said, “See? The airplane can handle it. You can handle it. Don’t be afraid of it!”
@@Stumpchunkman226 Side slips can save your life in an engine out circumstance. Being proficient with them allows you to pick a field and come in high to offer an escape if you've picked a foul field that looked good from afar/above. this keeps at least "one" last ditch "better than worst" option open. fly safe and prepared via proficiency my friend! Cheers: Robert Note: side slip practice can result in engine failure by the fuel pickup line in the tank becoming dry, if so level out, set throttle to start position, full rich mixture and fuel pump on, then etc... The prop will likely be windmilling so no starter will be needed if windmilling. (It'll take a moment for the carburetor to fill enough to get fuel to the motor) If that doesn't do it then: engine out checklist. Be ready and practice side slips with at least semi-full tanks as a precaution to the above. Be safe my friend! Still further the pickup lines are likely on the wing root side so if sideslipping with the right wing high you should probably be on your right side fuel tank. Maybe check with your mechanic or aircraft manual on this thought.
@@robertshaver4432 thanks, Robert. That is excellent advice, and my CFI was keeping an eye on this. After slipping to one side, the fuel gauge would give erroneously low indications. We would return to straight and level flight and the tanks would balance themselves out. The Ranger draws from both tanks and doesn’t have a L or R side selector.

@@Stumpchunkman226 Awesome, sounds like a great CFI.
