Do keep in mind when doing high speed low passes that it is easy to go a little overboard. I misjudged how much speed I would pick up after turning off downwind at 1,000' one time and trying to get 200' over the runway. There is no pucker factor like the one you get when your ailerons start to flutter while 200' over the ground. I had actually flutter tested the plane to 238 MPH and only got to 215 during the pass, but I did not have the same death grip on the stick during the pass which may have contributed to the flutter.
Ohskosh is going good. Bill Clapp showed his KR off during the homebuilt review flybyes on Wednesday and today. I flew it just in front of him in the M1. I tried to tell them it was an aluminum KR, but they didn't buy it. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Mark Jones" <mjo...@muellersales.com> Reply-To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 12:24:30 -0500 >Yes I agree that, at 90% of the airports, this practice should not be >encouraged.
