Re: a pilots airplane

I suppose T-CRATE is right out amongst you sensitive types too, eh?

You're probably the same crowd that looks down on logging all T-cart time as IFR cuz you can't 'xactly SEE outa the damn things too, aren't ya?

Re: a pilots airplane

This has nothing to do with like or dislike of their airplane. I love ALL airplanes, I have merely pointed out many times in the past; 7 years of the Taylorcraft Foundation 34 years of the Taylorcraft Owners Club & , 70 years of the TAYLORCRAFT in Alliance & I was informed by C.G. Taylor hisself that he did not like that term!
The same way Howard Hughes hated the term "Spruce Goose". The way I hate Xmas vs. Christmas is another one! I know that the owners love their "Tcarts" ( there I typed it out, brrrrr) That is my two cents worth.

Does anybody know what the "Jumbo Jet for Jesus" is all about ??? I doubt that the owner likes that term . It is based here at CAK.

Re: a pilots airplane

I can vouch for the performance of a T-Craft on Baumann 1500's. I have flown mine with both 1320's and now the Baumann's....I love them...Nuff said. PM me if you want details.

Re: a pilots airplane

I don't rely on my ASI on final, I check it every once in a while, but for the most part, I'm concentrating on my touchdown point, and "feeling" the balance between the ailerons, and rudder. That tells me more about what the plane is doing than anything else. Any of you Alaska pilots slip one with the Micro VG's? How much do they change the "feel"?

OFF-TOPIC, caveat reador

Does anybody know what the "Jumbo Jet for Jesus" is all about ???

Why yes.... it's the cargo 747 that takes all the money that the BS TV evangelists get people to send them, and flies the crates of cash down to their banks in the Cayman Islands. They had a DC-3 but it couldn't carry enough.

This one is Rev Ernest's ship a 747SP given to him by the United Arab Emirantes (sp). I might become a "catcher" and get to fly on it sometime!!

No one will ever be banned for speaking with their heart and trying for the truth. I love you all!! In fact I may use the one about Crate & IFR that was cute.

Re: a pilots airplane

Went up to a few thousand yesterday and tried some full right rudder left slips at really low speeds (indicated) with a little power in and with none.
I see what you mean Dusty. Sure hangs on well.
There is always something new to add to your skills.
I did notice that when I came back after my playing session that my landing seemed, well, a little more finessed than normal.
