Doug a really useful exercise, borrowed from the gliding movement is
"rolling on a point".
Very good for teaching co-ordinated use of the rudder. Pick a point in the
distance like a hill, town, lake etc.
Begin rocking the wings from one side to the other, going about 15-20
degrees either way and keep it up for several cycles. If you get the rhythm
right(don't hurry it) and use the correct amount of rudder, the nose will
stay pointing directly at the hill etc as you rock from side to side.
As an exercise it is very intolerant of poor rudder co-ordination and the
nose will wander all over the place.
Cessna 172s and the like are not very good trainers for stick and rudder
skills as they tend to turn in a relatively co-ordinated fashion without the
use of rudder. My Esqual falls into this category if the turns are gentle.
A lot of older instructors lament the lack of stick and rudder skills in the
current generation of pilots who grew up in tricycle geared aircraft.
Don't know how you encourage people to get out of their comfort zone. It is
a culture that needs to be encouraged by the instructors. If you're going
to do some "exercises" grab someone for the ride. It will at least expose
them to something different and they may just have a go for themselves
later.
Still not back in the air due to my Xcom being updated. I have an early one
that required 2 hardware updates and a software update, for no charge, but
they found another fault that I have had to pay for. Getting with drawl
symptoms.

Subject: | Tachometer sender? Antennas? |
Is the tachometer sender included with the Jabiru engine, or do I need to source
this myself? What should I look for?
I would also be interested in how other builders installed their antennas; what
you used, where you put it, and how it works.
Thanks.
