Comment on "Great day around Palos Verde and Point Vicente."
Man what a fantastic playground! You takeoff and landing looks effortless, what wing is that? As I recall you have a Geo powerd trike right?Comment on "Brain teasers for those that believe down wind turns are "different"."
Yes, spot on, Joe. I started doing the maths before it dawned on me that the takeoff relative to ground would be unaffected (apart from bearing friction, tyre loss etc). I find it easy to confuse those reference points. :-)Comment on "Your altimeter displays one altitude while your GPS displays another. Under VFR, which do you use/when?"
That's straight forward, but, if you are in the middle of nowhere and cannot get the local altimeter setting before taking off, is it OK / sufficient to use the GPS altitude to set your altimeter prior to takeoff?Comment on "white eagles first engine out in soaring trike at elk river fly in"
...1? I know you're looking for criticisms ;), so why didn't you use the beginning of the runway and runup to full power before takeoff?
