Classic British Flight Sim

just tell her the old planes have to be flown like that to keep the fuel mixture properly mixed

......yeah , thats it... thats the story

Lovely pics.... BUT .... I do not like to see someone pulling a prop through with no chocks in place

Think that might just have been a special pose from our Tony.

Yes absolutely Chris - always treat props as live. Since there are still occurances of accidental starts followed by aircraft jumping the chocks, when I'm at home I always keep it tied down until I'm ready to start. Tony's not sticking his @rse our for fun either - he's pulling it through with his weight in the direction of rotation, so if it starts he'll fall away from the prop

Here's the first video . . . . . Depating Denham

good stuff

Rich .. your one hella-of a nice guy
cheers

Cheers Joe - there's only one thing better than enjoying aviation, thats being around others that share your passion

So - next thing to check was Ton'y G tolerance by winding the G up in a tight turn. Considering Tony's time in the back seat of a Jaguar - this was unlikely to throw up any surprises

Then we check for no loose articles, together with the health of the inverted fuel and oil systems, by a quick inverted check

Now to something more fun:

Lets start with an Aileron Roll to the left follwoed by an Aileron Roll to the right (to the right is faster as we're turning with the torque effect from the engine).

So after the rolls, we had a loop, stall turn and half cuban

Now its Tony's turn, first up, what we thought might be an Aileron Roll to the left, but Tony preferred the right.

Not a bad eh ?

And the second one was even better

Well done Tony - they we're excellent

Cheers

Rich
