Cont. engine and the La. summer humidity and hi temp density alt. 'ya had to play "basketball" with the main gear at max RPM down the runway to get the thing into "Ground effect" to build up that extra MPH or two to sustain a climb out!! Our CAP Commander had a PA-17 Vagabond with the 65 Continental! Fun Plane!! 'Glad I learned the basics in a "Taildrager!!" 'Heard more horror stories from people who started in nosewheels about what "Deathtraps" taildraggers are!! Just had to laugh!!<br />BSBD,<br />III%,<br />skybill-outskybillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801792487942711361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-64816875020309442002013-10-04T19:52:59.697-05:002013-10-04T19:52:59.697-05:00Got the bird all prettied up today, and taxied to ...Got the bird all prettied up today, and taxied to fill up her tanks with fuel.
