One just has to be close enough to the runway, pattern altitude (1000 feet above runway) and turn base quite quickly.I do a military numbers to final (a steady 180). Of course keep the nose down enough to maintain flying airspeed, I keep it about 60mph. Don't try to flair from very high as it will slow very quickly and drop in. I takes some guts to not flair too soon as it has to maintain flying speed to near touch down. Don't mush it in as there will not be enough speed, inertia, to do a flair. One thing I have never mentioned before is that the angle of attack in level flight at 10000 feet is much less with vg's then with slats. I have no idea why. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=397854#397854 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith701801-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith701801-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith701801-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith701801-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
