RE: Boy!!!! Dumb Thumbs
I was lucky, I think the ground speed is what confused me. Had a tailwind about 15-18 and the plane was moving quite quickly downwind. As I had mentioned before the plane don't know squat about ground speed. It operates on airspeed. I think I did learn a valuable lesson. As you said, when doing a steep turn keep the airspeed up. I did turn rather sharp as the mobil home was not to far away. My turn was probably 60*. I sure the top wing stalled first as it dropped to the high wing side. This started to take the plane towards the home, so I corrected rather steep in the other direction, this time the other wing stalled and we were off to the races. Geeze, I was gonna buy him lunch, but you should see how much he eats.
. Actually he is the person that maidens all of my planes. He is a great pilot and good friend. (Still eats alot though)
