Nark
Macho Superpilot
I'm not sure if this has already started somewhere else but I'd like to add to it:
I am an admitted dork when it comes to aviation. I know I'm a dork therefore I'm not a dweeb. While stationed overseas and not being able to jump into a plane I got flight sim with a joystick that also acts as a yaw control by twisting it. Fancy stuff...
I was getting checked out in a Super Cub on the weekend. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of flying one, it's a nice little bird, but I digress...
I was turning from crosswind to downwind. And like all good tail draggers they need a bit of rudder. The smart one can see where this is going... But before I get there let me add this: Since coming back from overseas I have flown about 30 hours between a 172 and 182. Both have control columns. the Super Cub has a stick, very much like my flight sim does...
So as I was turning left to downwind, I was also trying twist the Super Cubs stick and couldn't figure out why I was uncoordinated through the turn.
Yeah I'm a dork and thought I’d share it with you on here.
Please feel free to add you own shinanigans.
