What a difference 10 hours makes!

  • I'm happy to report that the X-Country flights are all done and dusted. I'm left feeling very relieved and mildly exhausted. It's the most flying I've ever done in one day and the night this video was shot I slept for 12 hours straight!
    Having accumulated over ten hours now I'm feeling a lot more at home with my aircraft. Everything is becoming instinctual which is great, as it frees up my limited mental capacity for other things; such as navigation, communication and general airmanship. Once I get my licence back from the CAA I'm tempted to visit Compton Abbas airfield. The Isle Of Wight is also high on the list and will be my first overseas trip of sorts!
    Anyway folks, hope you're all keeping well and I shall be in touch again very soon.
    Love Cupcake...

    Amazing! How does the top-mounted engine feel? Do you have a noticeable pitch up when cutting gas, and inversely when setting full power?

    • @CupcakesLanders
      @CupcakesLanders  11 місяців тому +3

      Oddly enough it's the opposite effect, when you cut power the nose drops which is what you want really. Overall it's very well balanced, it does suffer from a lot of adverse yaw but providing you use your feet it's fine.

      @@CupcakesLanders these light aircrafts really make you work, right? Love them. Never got to fly any, but I got my tail wheel endorsement earlier this year, and it's been a blast, flying a Jodel D112 and Stampe SV4. Stick and rudder!

      Is this an actual plane, or like an RC plane? I'm sorry for being so stupid, but I don't know about these things, and it's only a dumb question if you ask it twice, right?
