What Waldo your father in law didn't share any of his ole #7 JD that is.
Well I got to fly today, only 2 flights but boy they were fun. I've never had a plane that if I pulled back on the elev to raise the nose and then let off the elev she would still stay in a nose high condition. but the T_ _ _T does. go figure.
I did several touch an goes like that with her nose high and I never had to hold on to the elev to do it.
My cg is still there around 5 or so and I still cannot get a flat flat spin out of her. she still drops her nose in the flat spin.
1 of these days I need to repair my dymond tigermoth. She is a natural at flatspinning but always takes 2 to 3 rotations to stop. Next month she will have been down a year and damage is really not that bad. I just have too many projects.
