RE: Good First Planes
Okay,
I've been reading several of the posts in here and I'm looking forward to receiving my FlyZone Cessna 182 Skyhawk later this week. This will be my first plane (in about 17 years) to fly. The last one was piloted by my grandfather who handed me the controls after he got the plane stable in the air -- and then retrieved the controls for landing.
However, I do have some newbie questions - One of the things that I have noticed is the designation of propeller sizes. How does one read those? For example, what does 4.5 x 4.1 mean? How does one get used to the "reverse" affect of a plane coming at you (you know, turn left, the plane goes to your right as it approaches)? And finally, what is a folding propeller?
Thanks!
