Thanks Terry. Its unfortunate if it happened but if you do the right things it's safe enough. Fortunately I had a great instructor, and I was close to the field, so this was text book. Shame I didn't land on my feet at the end but hey...can't win them all :)

Interested to know how you control pitch? Is it purely a power thing?
@adamthorpe1

Yes you got it. Throttle up to go up, back off to come down. There are ways to get down quicker by using turns and performing "wing overs" but Power is your main means of determining if you go up more or down more...generally.

@@terryteed1903 Nice. I would definitely recommend it, you won't regret it. However, be prepared for the course to take longer than you think and try and do it in the summer months. The weather offers more opportunities to train, and the daylight hours are longer which help too. Good Luck...and make sure you vlog it so we can all watch your progress :)

Cheers. The spark plug and mixture. A shiny new plug and a tweak on the mixture cured the issue.

Just out of interest, what is the reason you are using your d lines for steering? I have never seen that being taught or advised by instructors I have met.
@adamthorpe1
2 жыл бұрын
If you have a problem of some kind and for whatever reason you are unable to use your brakes effectively, pulling the D lines is an option. It kind of does the same thing. So if its an emergency, its an alternative way of steering…if you absolutely need to.
