catchin up on the readings........saw this one, prompts me to this..........

Most, pilots this day and age, get trained in a 2 seater by an instructor.......if that's you and you are unsure how to tackle x winds etc etc....go back to the instructor and demand a refund, as you have not been trained.

Into wind,downwind,x wind, no wind, wot ever.............you should have been tawt

Hmmm... for someone who said " he was busy with Mum"...... you're spending way too much time here or are you just catching your breath?

Just so you know, I do intend on taking training, after I get the little gyro built.

IF I do get to come to Australia for the Nats, I hope you can spend a little time with me aswell.

I just dont want to find my self ina lurch like Chuck did. So I figger asking questions is a good thing, especially from some one who routinely gets in a tight spot. Gives a bloke something to think about, and practice in his minds eye.

Despite having a bit of expereince, I regard X wind [30 mph] takeoffs as one of the most trying . Unless you do it right, you could well be in trouble as unless the gyro is at flying speed, once your main wheels leave the ground, you are committed to keep flying!!

Never try anything unless you feel okay about it and always work up into something. I spent many hours takeing off and landing in absolutely no wind, getting that right before I tried even a mild X cross wind !!
