I love the Simviation Sticker!! Smiley

Hey Brett, that Piper Warrior looks pretty much the same as the Piper Cruiser I flew for my 40th.
Is there much difference?

20 horse-power and the window arrangements. Other than that, you wouldn't know the difference.. They're WONderful planes in that goofy wind. A C172 would have been a handful.. and that gust that hit me in ground-effect would have probably prompted a go-around.

I did most of my learning in a cruiser. They're excellent trainers.

(next bill-board will be bigger.. lol Cheesy

Is a big reason for that because the wings on the Piper are "under" instead of "over" like in the 172?

Partly, yes... The relationship between the center-of-gravity, and center of lift plays a part (C172 is like a pendulum). But I think the dihedral is the big factor. With a Piper, the wind is already "under" the upwind wing (even with a correction in).. Whereas in a C172, it can go from over the wing, TO under, AND back again, during the approach/flare.

I Love Simviation.

Chief

I saw the video! Amazing!!! Cheesy

BTW Brett

,..You need a camera man too shaky, go to the USA immigration and say there is a 43 years old man and 14 years old boy (we will put him in sounds) experts in TV stuff , you need them for filming ,cleaning the planes, the car , the house, fix the garden .....LMAO!!! Grin

That was a tough landing isn't?, did you had a small crosswind ? that came at your 9 o clock..correct?

Yeah.. the wind was out of the east.. gusting and shifting.

The camera was mounted on a tripod (secured by seat-belts and bungie-chords..lol). A hand-held camera would have been worse. I had trouble just tuning the radio, earlier in that approach.. It was pretty bumpy.

Very nice... and right on the centerline. Wink

I like the camera placement- much more interesting than setting it on the glareshield.

Nice, I like the angle too, it's nice to see the controls move during the video.

Oh, and nice landing too. Wink

Next time, I'm going to try it from over my left shoulder with the zoom set enough for a good instrument scan. I'd like something with instructional value... though considering the weird winds and KingAir in pursuit; take a gander at the VSI for the last couple miles... Cool

It shows how a stabilized approach made it all easier.
