Neat experience today.

Matt,

I recently sold my C310 (after about 650 hours in it). The C310 was a
joy to fly, when trimmed it almost flew hands off. The plane had no
autopilot, so all those hours where hand flown.

I joined OurPlane and have been flying a SR22G for the last 6 months. I
found that the ground roll is about the same as my twin Cessna, but the
climb performance is probably better.

That is really amazing that an SR22 can outclimb a C310. I thought the
310 was a pretty nice performing twin ... with both turning anyway.

79 P28RT201T. count me in the positive stiction category. I brought the
topic up in rec.aviation.owners before and many people replied that they had
similar problems and similar remedies to what is seen here.

Often when flying Pipers I know slowly "pump" the controls during the
flare. One of the aviation columnists recently wrote about using this
technique and the advantages of it. I never needed it much in my 182 as
I could gradually pull back the wheel in it. The Arrow isn't nearly as
smooth and a low amplitude, high frequency "pumping" of the wheel tends
to allow smoother arrivals at closer to stall speed.

Okay, survey time. We have a lot of Piper pilots on the newsgroups. How
many of you find it necessary to "pump the yoke"to get a smooth low speed
landing? I'll go first... not me. Is something wrong with my airplane or
just every other Piper in the world?

So you pump the yoke on every landing?

No, I guess I misread the question. I have the stiction problem, but do not
pump the yoke.

A dap of oil fixes the problem my 180 is as smooth as silk.

Just because someone has their mother in the back doesn't make them a good
pilot as far as I can tell. If you're that trusting there's some ocean
front property in Arizona for sale that you'd probably like.


I would of went. I would love to fly in Cirrus. Ill take my chances with a
stranger.
