Please excuse the silly question but. you spoke of drying the wing out: how do you do that exactly? I have often wondered what I would do if I had to dry the wing out, Do you just lay it out across the living room and wait or is there some better way to do this? Thanks,
Is oscillation control a thing with landing? I know when I was new I struggled with oscillations coming into land. I'm working with a new pilot now and he has the same issue. Everything is perfect at 75' and kills the motor, then the oscillations start. I haven't had oscillation issues since my first year and I don't know what I do to counter them, it seem like a self conscious thing and I'd like to give good advice?
Oscillation/roll is usually caused by the pilot being too insensitive on the brakes. Some wings and engine set ups are more prevalent to roll than others. The best way to deal with roll is to go hands up and then apply little bit of both brake. If the anti torque steer is strong after killing the engine you need to weight shift and apply a little of brake on the opposite side. The main way to avoid roll is to always gently come on and off both the throttle and the brake. Ground handling is usually the best way to improve pilot sensitivity with the brakes. Hope that helps....
Thanks for the refresher…it’s going to be a superb flight today, I feel it already
Great informational video. Thank you.
Nice video,s.
Good explanation of things.
Thanks for these video’s, very helpful.
