I watched the terrible carshhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaimogfse9c I was wondering, after he got on the backside of the power curve and committed to flight, could he have recovered it by putting out more flaps? Cheers It looks like he failed to remember what we were all taught during our training for soft field TOs. Wheels just off the ground, then lower the nose to get the WIG effect, build up airspeed, then climb. As folks have already noted...a) he had plenty of field to work with and b) it looks like he pitched up pretty quick and c) who knows what his CG was...it could have been well aft of the box. I can't imagine how another notch would have done anything but increase his drag further and lower his airspeed. Just my 2c. --Jeff |
