Then, be sure to scroll down slightly to the next section of that page, "Buyit" and you will find this particular book by Osinga currently costs $128 from Amazon - a real incentive to call your local library and arrange FREE interlibrary loan of the book. Back on to an "RV-List" topic, anyone want to hear about my errors in cross wind takeoff techniques? - and resulting lessons learned from snap rolling my former RV-6 (tail dragger & tip up canopy) on liftoff on takeoff in a strong crosswind and landing upside down on the centerline, sliding off the runway upside down and crawling out from under? If you klnow how to search the NTSB reports look at 5 April 2010, event at Muleshoe, Texas, airport.

My educational experience was a 1/2 outside loop on a landing in my Pitts, 16LW. Curtis Pitts said 'Never learned how to land it, did you.' ...... after my 13 years of scratch free flying.
