Well,
we get to the field at 6:00am to get started.
Bout 7:30 it's time to fly
It took about 15 mins to get the motor running right (it's been a year since she last flew anything.)
She is purring like a kitten, and growls like a lion when at full throttle.. So I am READY !!!!!!!!
Ok, control surfaces check:
Rudder.....Left is left, right is right
Elevator: Up is Up, down is down.
Ailerons: Left is left, right is right.........
Let's go !!!
Taxi out to the runway, and taxi around to get used to the way she rolls on the ground.
Let's Go !!!!!
Move about 100 downwind on the runway:
Add power keeping a little pressure on the elevator to keep the tail wheel glued......
moving past half throttle, she's really going now !!!!
ease back on the right stick, the nose comes up, there is a bit of left roll..
OK, add some right aileron, (she's about 2 feet off the deck and climbing)
well, she goes more left, add RIGHT Aileron, still rolling left.
I SAID RIGHT AILERON !!!!!!!!!!

SPLAT.....[&o]
One is the only number I dont like when it comes to planes.
that is 16 months of waiting lost in about 5 seconds of air time.....
Anyone got a Lanier Yak 54 87" for sale that's NIB?
Problem with the plane: Ailerons were reversed........
