:) As I've probably said before -- loads of people were good to me when I was learning and since as well. Loads of people have been generous with their time and their experience and their avgas in showing me what can be achieved.

It only seems like fair play really to give something back into that community for others to use, and while my resources in terms of actually flying are usually fairly strapped, I can most certainly waffle on... ;)

Hiya Leia

Nice - read your PDF looks great.

Are you the Regia Leia ?

Upon a time!

Tricky to fit a nine foot spear into a light aircraft, mind you...

Lol Thought so.

You need either a bigger aircraft or a smaller spear :) ... Can't you strap it to the leading edge ?

Cheers,

Chris

Yes. There can't be that many 'Leia's - in reenactment or flying, let alone both...

Not sure it'd do much for the the stall characteristics...

Leia hope you don't mind me posting a link to this thread

But as well as Leia's fab info there is a wealth of information here

http://www.slideshare.net/nyinyikyaw/ba ... el=3133139

that studes might find helps to augment thier knowledge as they progress. I just chose flight control as the example please look at the sidebar and the rest of the site for other related subjects

Hi Leia -

I picked up this thread some weeks ago, and found the info very useful, especially your "learning styles assessment" tips which helped me to re-learn how to learn/study for the style of the theory exams, leading to my successful attempt at Air Law last week (quick brag!)

Glad it was useful and well done on getting air law (ych!) out of the way :)
