It is as far forward as possible for stability under heavy braking and absorbs serious shock loading through a trailing-beam design. There are gap seals between the elevator and horizontal stabilizer, and the rudder and vertical stabilizer. What about the nosewheel itself? In our opinion, it’s brilliantly engineered.

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. In this region of reversed command, use power to control altitude and pitch to control airspeed. With a short field landing, we aim to be at 1.3

Alongside a nearby highway, some recognizable bits of airplane, the vertical stabilizer and rudder, a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, fell separately to Earth. The breakup started with rudder flutter. Flutter is a dangerous, complex, dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon dependent on true airspeed.
