| Subject: | High speed taxi tests: good or bad idea? |
I've just completed my 'low-speed' taxi tests and anticipate fixing my squawks
quickly. Now - the next question: should I do high-speed taxi tests as recommended
from the FAA, or just go right to the first flight? Of course, talking
about this airplane, 'high speed' may mean 20-25 mph!
I would like to hear about any experiences of high-speed taxi tests from any other
members.
Thanks,
Dan Ginty

Yes do hi speed taxi tests
and if you have the room do some hops of increasing height and duration. if
you can get out of ground effect you will be testing the handeling
both yours and the aircrafts. while taking off and landing. make sure it
isn't dropping a wing or over sensitive or too heavy on the controls.
if any of these are felt fix before flight propper. You don't want any nasty
surprises.
thanks

Re high speed it won't fly at 25 MPH
aim for 45 Knots rotate establish flight don't climb under 45 knots
work on 55knots min over the fence landing. speed washes off quickly!
while testing speed is you friend
you can play with min speeds later keep you and your aircraft straight.
While testing at height power off stall establish your stall speed (mushing
at 700 ft/min is a stall)

Here's my feeling on high speed taxi and a lot of crow hops.
I've made the first flight on 6-7 planes and plan to continue my M.O.
A good landing is the result of a good approach. Crow hops IMHO are about
the furthest from a stable approach as you can get.
My method after medium (relative to the airplane) taxi to determine braking
/ steering is to make a full power takeoff, once clear of the ground I lower
the nose and test all three axis quickly before continuing climb, climb to
altitude over the airport and conduct slow flight and a stall so you know
what to expect on landing. The 701 is different from any other first flight
I've done, I was aware of the steep power off attitude so was prepared to
REALLY lower the nose if the engine gagged, with a little power it was
little different from my Pacer at idle.
Lots of folks use the fast taxi/ crow hop scenario, I think it's an accident
waiting to happen.
