Default flat spin problems, what is causing this death spin.

Dago:

What on Earth was the reason for the multi-wheel trucks? Just to be different? Was there some logic to it? Wow.

Gord:

I have two "Sticks." An Ultra Stick 120 w/Saito, newest plane, got the bugs out now, fun. Other is an Ace "Littlest Stick." Cox 020, rudder only, keeps you on your toes.

But I don't have a "Hacker." What usually happens when I am attacked by the "Wild Hair" is another plane built. That's why Sam and I are cramped in our four rooms and bath. Too many planes. And Sam doesn't take up much room: He's a ten year old tom cat.

And a flat bottomed wing was a minor factor in my one major crash in years, stupidity was the major factor. High speed inverted pass, ran out of down elevator.

Hacker or fancy plane. Lessons in flying? We all gain.

Bill.
