I am a former student pilot (with about 15 hours) who is developing an autonomous UAV. I've read contradicting reports that lateral acceleration is and isn't an accurate indication of slip. The inclinometer ("the ball") in a full scale/manned airplane measures lateral acceleration. I've read that...

I am thinking of renting a 172 and going for overnight camping within 4 hours flying distance of North Dallas. I am an AOPA member and I did a search for the fields that allow camping but without descriptions, it is hard to decide. It would be nice to hear from others who have done this. All we...
