Yeah, now there's a good looking plane. Piper really knew how to make a nicely shaped aircraft.

Since Post#10 I found my G-660 had a quick way to add waypoints and measure distance - once on and GPS constellations located tap power on/off button...

This app MIGHT work. I haven’t tried it yet: GPS Measure https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-gps-tape-measure/id1335951628

Right. Valid for constant acceleration only. Not even exact on wheels because drag increases with speed.

Pacer with a stretched or Dakota Cub wing = nice! Gary

^yes^ plus floats can develop a hull speed below flying speed when finally on the step beyond which further acceleration requires a reduction in...

Assuming constant acceleration, of course. That works pretty well on wheels, but for floats, the part before you get on step is a lower rate of...

Comparing two airplanes by time may not work so well, as some planes accelerate quicker, and others lift off slower... the important figure is length...

Keep in mind, a spin is a stall maneuver in which one wing is stalled. As a result the forward indicated airspeed will be low. So, after you stop the...

You mean wings like this... for this? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

thanks! its nice to hear first hand info like that. eases my mind now to play around some more in my PA12, I still wont be doing any intentional...

problem solved, bought new hoses

I'm in the group that slips almost every landing, I like the visibility and its just how I've gotten comfortable controlling my decent. I also almost...

In order for any single engine plane to be certificated in the normal category one of the requirements is that it be able to recover from a spin....

After awhile you'll love the back seat. It's not only more comfortable but easier to fly in the back. Wings level? No problem you can look at both at...

skywagon I'm curious your take on spins in a float plane? I've heard different things on this from my instructors, my first instructor when I asked...

I bought a 58V Echo weed wacker 3 years ago and it has a ton of power and endurance. The gas Echo wacker I had before it lasted 25 years being used...

Yeah, what he said :o Glenn

Sorry maybe that was the wrong question. To the uninitiated it looks a whole lot like a long wing Pacer or a Maule M4

You can use a bit of easy math. 1. Calculate your acceleration using the equation: Velocity at rotation divided by time in seconds for takeoff run....

That cowl definitely helps. Whenever I see a bearhawk with that long nose and nearly vertical windshield they always look like Goofy. Maybe it's that...

I used to believe it could not happen.........until it did. Nothing broke either. Just try to imagine a seven turn spin with a loss of 700 feet. It...

Worked for me.

Link didn't work for me - and neither did searching Google.

Done.!
