I gave rides and instruction in a 2-32. I was the lightest
ride pilot (180lb), so when a heavy couple was going up I had the honor of being the pilot. Most rides were the mile high ride. Soon after release, I would slow it up to just above stall speed. With a heavy load it would start buffeting at 55 mph clean. With full spoiler, the stall speed was much higher. I would fly at 85 mph on approach. The problem with the 2-32 is the spoilers. With a normal pattern if you hold full spoiler, you are not going to make the runway or spin in. We taught half spoiler at the most until touch down then you could go to full spoiler. |
