There is a big difference between an 1100 lb Fabric puddle jumper and the lil brick like the 150. The Cub will fly at 30MPH, so at 20knts she goes in the hangar unless ya plan on doin some kite flyin LOL!!!
There is a VALID reason NOT to let students fly under certain conditions LOL!!!
The 150 felt like a tank in comparison and ours was SOOOO under powered and I never did really get used to trike gear. I only got like 10 hours in the Cesna and bout 40 in the Cub. When I had to start flyin into bigger airports and workin with the towers....kinda turned me off, not to mention I HAD to do all that in the Cesna as the Cub had no radio. Not to mention that was about the same time my regular instructor went to Alaska for the summer to fly a Beaver :o. He was so cool cuz we actually went flyin more than doin pilot crap heheh. We'd catch thermals over Brush Prarie with the Redtails, work on slipin her in for a landing and cool taildragger stuff
Trees?!?!? You want trees aye LMAO...we got trees heheheh. When you come outa Daybreak if you go right or left you do good to maintain 100' AGL till you get to about 500' MSL. Nearly all the smaller fields round here have at least a few 100' Douglas Firs round the perimeter. Evergreen, where I trained at, had a 2100ft east/west paved and grass strip with a north/south 1300' that was actually private but usable when needed.
Think you have flown into Daybreak on Sim? WA46 its bout 5 mins from me but only grass and I think 2100'
Goheen/W52 would be next closest and they also have pavement and fuel sometimes heheheh. Woodland/W27 might be the best bet and its not far either, bout 5 miles maybe but 15 min drive.
I actually had a chance to wrench on an Allison V12 that came out of a Mustang when I was at Aerotech in Cheyenne...its amazing those boat anchors actually got off the ground, it easily fills the bed of a full sized Pick-up.
Maybe we should seek out a sim we could all get and do some rebelin
I got MS2002 and 2004...NE one heard more on that flight sim X?
Quote:They limit us here on the cessna 172's to a 12kt x/wind component (which I think is actually recommended in the manual) at least until we've shown really good proficiency... but some of the students at my field scare me. I followed one part of the way driving home once, and turning left through an interesection they ran over the median and almost took out a sign and a lightpole Shocked ... I was like hmmmm and they are flying a plane? Huh
