If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Re: There's a party at Mack Mesa

Is a zero thrust landing a true dead stick landing (engine off)?

Re: There's a party at Mack Mesa

Hey, there is a party almost every weekend at Mack Mesa.
John I think Ladd is just planning on a idle/no throttle landing. I'm bringing the camera either way. Ought to be a hoot.
I loaded a couple of vids from Sat. on the tube. I will put the ones of your stall practice on soon.

Re: There's a party at Mack Mesa

Zero thrust means your engine is at idle or higher. Some contestants had concern their engine may quit if they brought the throttle back too far. We intend to make this a fun and safe event where all types of aircraft can compete.

Come on out and play,

Well I would bring the cirrus but from reading another thread I see that it is a death trap. :(

Doesn't it have a parachute? What more do you need? The parachute fixes anything you do wrong!

And I think there is a prize for the plane with the most duct tape.

Re: There's a party at Mack Mesa

Congratulations to you and your wife Jason!

When Randy heals up, maybe you can both fly down to one of our monthly events.

Ladd,
