I had to face off about 0.025" to get my bolts flush.
I didn’t take any pictures this morning, but this is what rolls, loops, Immelmanns, split-esses and spiral dives look like on flightaware.
Whoa! 220 knots at one point!
I must not have been paying attention!
The aerobatics do seem to confuse the system. Often I’ll generate 1 or 2 primary targets close to me at my altitude. Freaked me out a few times trying to find the airplane that was nearly on top of me.
Yeah, I’m sure it was just an errant reading.
Nice, some actual G. In UPT, some instructors will hook ya if not G-straining when >4G ![]()
Heck I G-strain at 2. But I’m getting old.
Awesome! Nice wave ![]()
Old rotor at 477.7 hours:
New titanium rotor:
A worn tire weighs more than a half lb less than a new one. Follow me for more weight reduction tips.
Bryan,
How many landings on the old tires?
Wes
Wes,
I’m not sure. I could total them up in the name of science.
Or maybe just how many flight hours ![]()
Wes
130+
I did 146, Adam did 140 for a total of 286. Total time 136.9 hours.
Titanium rotors seem fine so far. Pattern work during flight school shift change, 3 landings.
Probably 90% or more of our landings are on pavement.
That’s awesome. Glad to hear they’re working out!
Numbers going on for the Airventure Cup Race. Waiex 191 is becoming Race 191.
Weather has been poor. Adam and I did get out this morning and flew around the pattern 6 times, 3 each. Titanium rotors seem to work the same as the heavy ones so far.
GO Race 191 GO!!!
We’ll be cheering you on from the Philippines! Keep us posted ![]()
