The aircraft will attempt to turn right, and
you will have to apply nearly full left aileron. The aircraft will also

pitch
up a little and require you to adjust the trim. Expect to lose about 5

knots
of airspeed.


I haven't had this effect in a 172.

I would avoid using lens larger than about 100mm unless
you have one of those gyroscopically stabilized units.


I went flying last Wednesday after theConcorde flight. I had my
(father's) camcorder with me so I set up the tripod in the back of
the plane. Strange thing. The camera (Sony) has "image
stabilisation", no giros or anything, not sure how it works,
something floating inside the camera or just a digital effect more
likely. Anyway, it's most noticable on taxying. The plane bobs
up and down over the rough ground but the image shows the
horizon as steady with the instrument panel moving up and down.

Saw this fly a wide circle around me, put its wheels down
and set itself up on long final to Boscombe Down as I was
climbing out from Thruxton:
