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.

For most people getting the 52 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! > orld disappears . The TW also has toe brakes and has nothing in common with the 52/50 in that respect. Now if you could find someone to give you time in a TD back seat your all set. > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=391143#391143 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:36:56 AM PST US From: Viorel Nichols Subject: Yak-List: Auto-response Away on holiday from the 22 December 2012 till 29 January 2013 Wishing you a happy festive season .
