Patty_Wagstaff Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Torqued-Off About Hammers" 07-02-03, 01:09z  Tom It sounds to me as if you are doing the turn around too early. If you're 20 - 30 deg. off each time, I'd bet that would be it. It sounds as though you need someone on the ground who knows what they are looking at to tell you when to kick. It might also help to put a piece of yarn on the I strut. When the yard stops moving, you're ready to pivot. Also, the airplane usually shudders and shakes a bit when really stopped. Try adding right rudder as the airplane slows down to keep it from falling off on the left wing. Try a bit of forward stick as you're kicking around, however if everything is squared up first you shouldn't need it. Hope this helps. Patty Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
