I personally would not use a laser level. I would use a water level.

Hi al
Hi all,
On this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzF50wHhlnc two laser
levelers are used to set up vertical and horizontal reference lines during
a wing alignment. Could someone enlighten me with specific brands and
models used or usable for these types of alignments? I see wide price

Well said. ?The single most accurate information as to whether the wing will
fly or stall, and tell you best climb, best glide, is Indicated Airspeed. ?
I would disagree that gps speed, or anything else is as relevant, even in calm
air, for approach and landing.?
What does gps tell you? How fas
TAS is great if you happen to be at sea level on a standard day. The rest of
us have to deal with IAS. GPS speed at higher elevations really gives no
indication of the aircraft's capabilities at sea level. To come up with a sea
level equivalent performance number, I use a GPS number, then cor

Semi. I have to remove them and get new wing attach fittings for the rear
lower spar. Have too much other stuff going on. See you at the next
Gathering. Unless you're in the neighborhood.

Hi Mike,
How would that help? When landing an aircraft, surely the appropriate
reference for airspeed (apart from the feel of the aircraft in flight) is
the instruments fitted in the aircraft? IAS is what you'll have in front
of you when landing. As long as it's the ASI the aircraft was tested
Jeff,
I can not honestly say what speed I was doing at your airport for landing. I am
probably a lousy technical pilot as I only glance at the airspeed 2 or 3 times
during a landing and that is usually because something does not feel right (too
fast or too slow) I know I was a bit fast by feel

windless runway, and why indicated airspeeds mean nothing from one guy's
plane to another. The context was advice for the appropriate minimum

The ONLY speed the plane knows or is affected by, for purposes of flying,
stalling, control, aerodynamics, is actual AIRSPEED. Period.

Those are the numbers I use when landing except I am in my C310 I am at 70
