Good evening to all-
I am learning more every time I fly my little planes. One thing I have learned is that of all the factors which influence microwarbird flight, perhaps none is so important as wind- or lack of it. These little planes will fly in pretty gusty conditions, but they are very hard to control and land safely when it's blowing hard.
So...
this evening it was flat calm, overcast- perfect for flying. I took a couple of my little planes down to the flying field, and I am proud to report two perfect take-offs from the paved road surface, two successful aerobatic flights, and even two perfect roll to a stop landings on the roadway.
You can't beat calm, non-gusty conditions for good control of these little planes.
And I can also report that the little T-28 which arrived this week is a sweet flying little plane Very nice control in flight, and even pretty good turn of speed, and I really value that tricycle landing gear- really nice for hard surface landings.
I'm enjoying my flock of little micro planes.
you all be safe and keep well- Ed
