RE: Dave Patrick super cub
I played around with slow speed and found that the ailerons become pretty useless when slow. They work, just not well. I got it onto the edge of a stall and played with the ailerons to see what would happen. They're very effective right up until the point that it enters a spin. The spin entry is very predictable and easily recoverable. I let it develop into about a half turn and then recovered. Stalls are likewise predictable and easy to recover from. I was suprised how much altitude was lost between the start of recovery and positive climb rate being established. That's probably due to the high weight of this plane.
Landing was fun. I'm still not comfortable with the plane yet so I ended up a little fast on landing. The mains touched but I decided to abort and go around. Amazing amount of torque upon slow speed application of full power. It took me a minute before I realized it, but going forward I am committed to thinking of this airplane as the full scale and flying the rudder all the time.
The second landing attempt was better althought I was still too fast. I made a wheel landing and let it run out. As with all taildraggers, the tail wanted to swap ends with the nose but this time I was ready and counted with rudder. I don't think anyone watching even knew this happened.
Sorry about the fuzzy pic.
