 |
|
On my first flight I flew it with the doors off (thought it would be easier for the emergency crew). I had several radio problems with my ground crew compounded by the fact the doors were off. The problem I had was too much wind, if you slip it slightly in you're going to feel it. Even if you are straight into the wind, the wind in the cockpit blowing on you tends to come from the right or the left at 90 degrees gust from 10-15 (seemed like), while the wind outside the plane might be 10% off the nose steady at 4 knots. That was confusing. I found myself automaticly putting control imputs in based on the gusts of wind hitting me inside the plane... I haven't had the doors off since the first flight, but I'm wanting to do it again soon. Let me know what you find. All this was the first time the plane flew so I might of been too sensitive.
