John Galloway
Through the contributions to the avoiding VNE thread
runs the theme of the difficulty of avoiding overspeeding
and/or overstressing some modern designs in accidental
spin recovery. This is made more difficult than in
older composite gliders because they had a little more
drag and a little more...

2-Batteries by
[email protected]

What I have been doing is flying my electric Lazair and RV8.
A lot of you...
