Re: Power off 180

Thanks Dan, I have been going 5 seconds before turning base. I'll see how it goes with 10. It seems for the most part I will have to count about 4 stripes in front of touch down for my aiming point.

Re: Power off 180

Thanks for the advice Alan. What did you find was the sweet spot for MP & RPM settings?

Re: Power off 180

Hey Mark, seems like the steep turn to the left gives me more trouble. Using 2400rpm/ 18mp bumping to 20mp. Went back to slipping for the 180 like Dave suggested. Seems like I have better consistency with just the take off flaps. Thanks

Re: Power off 180

Thanks Dave, I had originally planned on doing something like this but then changed when another pilot who recently did his commercial and told me the slip was frowned upon because it showed you did not have complete control of the airplane. Were you using the slip only after you had deployed landin...

Re: Power off 180

Hey Russ, I have a legacy g1000, so no meat ball. Got the roll out pretty good. Power setting when rolling from left to right seems to fluctuate enough that fairly often bust the + or - airspeed.

Power off 180

Working on commercial maneuvers and could use some pointers! Can anyone give some suggestions of what may have worked for them to dial in consistency? Also steep turns, any things that may make everything flow a littlebetter. Thanks for any insight.

Wing spar extra material

I am coming up on 2000hrs and getting ready for the wing spar bonding project. Does anyone by chance have enough materials left over for me to finish the job? Will help offset your initial cost, thanks
