There's a reason that Piets don't need flaps, belly boards, or any of that other stuff to scrub off airspeed on landing or make steep approaches and short landings... they have generous amounts of drag working in their favor ;o) I can throw it into a slip with the stick all the way over into my thigh and the rudder almost to the stop to lose altitude and that will really bring it down, but even just flying it power-off slower than about 42-45 means that most of the parasol wing has all but "fallen off" and the airplane is coming down right now ;o) It's a really fun, simple, and honest airplane to fly though. -Oscar _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
