Default RE: What is the function of crow?


ORIGINAL: extra 300

Have used Crow on my Boomerang XL and never missed a landing on our 400 ft. runway. This jet becomes so predictable that you can easily do spot landings with very little practice!!!

How about if you try not to use crow but instead increase nose up on landing and add slight power to maintain rate of descend. However my suggestion to increase AoA instead of crow will probably effective for less cambered and high loading wings. Otherwise, a reduction of camber is required to reduce lift and drag in order to maintain sink rate, airspeed and control authority for high cambered and lesser wing loading aircraft.
