A week later, I met Hunton and his wife at the Hangar Hotel at Gillespie County Airport (T82) in Fredericksburg to try the Jabiru 230-D on for size. You will still have full aileron control by moving your arm side to side, and you’ll have brakes too.” Twist my arm,” I thought. Hunton and McLeod pilot the J-230D around South Texas.

When the aircraft encounters a vortex and its strong enough to induce roll, the pilot counters it by using the ailerons against the roll and tries to fly out of the wake as soon as possible. If the aircrafts wingspan is long enough, its ailerons will extend beyond the vortex diameter, and counter control would still be possible.

She walked me through the foyer to the spotless, freshly painted hangar. The GameBird is right at home on the grass, pavement, or TacAeros clean hangar. The airplane is incredibly sensitive, thanks to sweeping, full-span ailerons and an unnaturally tall stick that exaggerates any and all inputs.

You can see other Weick influences, such as the oil-damped tricycle landing gearall produced Cherokees are trikeswith a wide track to make crosswind landings more manageable. Depressions in the vertical stabilizer and rudder, as well as stabilator skins and ailerons, all help increase panel stiffness while allowing less under-skin structure.

Unfortunately, the government and its money-schlepping agency, the IR of S, strongly believes in the traditional calendar, so today, I find myself rummaging through my hangar’s detritus and junk in search of deductible items and a clue on how to end this year of flying on a high note. My gratitude goes out to you, my readers.

Centerline, centerline, centerline Air Facts Journal It was a beautiful May day as we grabbed the tow bar to pull the 1981 Cessna 182 out of the hangar. The only thing that caught my attention was a 90 degree crosswind coming from the east that was gusting to 11 or 12 knots. My left crosswind became left downwind very quickly.

Enter Tango Whiskey Aviation , an aerobatic flight school with operations at the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester Area International Airport (KROC) and the Williamson-Sodus Airport (KSDC) where we share bays in the same hangar building. Despite the crosswind, take-off was perfunctory. He was right. That felt incredibly wrong.
