Banner Towing at Long Beach Grand Prix

[Joe Gremlin]

towing a giant banner seems counter intuitive to everything Ive been taught as a pilot, maybe im just a ninny.

It's not for everyone, but I don't think its significantly more dangerous than most other types of part 91 professional flying.

Also do lots of squats and leg lifts!!!

But you only need to do them with your right leg.

I second that only using your right leg.

It's almost comparable to flying single engine for 3-4 hours (twin). Just have to find the rudders sweet-spot. Or not care that your flying uncoordinated just above stall speed. anic:

And rudder trim is for sissy's!!
