| Subject: | Re: Yak-50 Transaction |
Dale,
Agree also with what you and Jj say the but is in where your Butt is in the sight
picture over the thresh hold and on the numbers. When I'm on final in the 50
I don't see anything over the nose unless I slip or push the nose over to see
the centerline. Push the nose over and get rewarded with an almost instant 10-20
KPH increase in airspeed. Meaning landing long for the three point landing.
So I slip on short final to watch the approach on short final. Granted this
is for three point landings. My personal preference since the aircraft has a
much shorter roll out and is better controlled in cross winds. Not that 3 m squared
is much of a crosswind.

to the runway is the hardest part of flying one, let alone parking it where you
want it. I flew the Super Decathlon first and learned to keep it straight.
I practiced adding power slow in the 52 to counter the prop and found it along
with the TW roll straight for quite a while if you don't get in a big hurry.
Get in a hurry and add lots of power and you will be greeted with a wild ride
if you don't know how to use the air brakes and your use to adding right rudder.
If you fly the back seat of a 52 with a 6'4" pilot in the front like me your
pretty much IFR in the back seat anyway. I fly from the back seat of a 52
and feel the landing view is the same as a TW in a three point all the way to
touchdown on final. Being farther back behind the wing gives you a better feel
of crab or slip in the longitudinal axis of the plane and makes it easier to
keep it straight on final until touchdown when the w!

52/50 in that respect. Now if you could find someone to give you time in a
TD back seat your all set.
