Hi Everyone,
I have been practicing with my Firefly and with a Garmin Virb Elite camera. Not real good with either, but things are advancing. The recordings of the flights are watched over and over as a review on days that the weather doesn’t want me to fly. This is proving to be very helpful.
Was out last Wednesday morning, it was perfectly calm air. Did some air work, checking on hands off flight. Have a slight roll to the right and a pretty good yaw to the right. I found the left aileron was hanging a little low, so corrected that but won’t know how much it will change things until the next flight.
At 5800 RPM I am getting an indicated air speed of about 63 MPH. I am also getting a really consistent fuel burn of just under 3 gallons per hour. This pleases me a great deal. (Rotax 447/Warp Drive 60” 3 blade)
EGT problems have mostly gone away. I just apply a little “choke” when reducing RPMs into mid-range. On landing approach I turn that off just before adding a little power for final touch down.
At Y19 there is 400’ of the grass runway between the main runway and the taxiway. I was able to get in and out on that little bit last week.
The takeoff and landing was edited down to a minute and a half. The file is a .MP4 and is 88MB in size.
Take a look if you so desire:
