Re: Teaching \"Emergencies\" to your students
[ QUOTE ]
Has anyone seen that incredibly stupid "stick-on" gear handle that Sporty's sells for fixed gear airplanes as a "learning tool"? I'd love to track that one and correlate gear-ups with those who used it and learned that when you put the gear handle down, expect =nothing= to happen, no descent, no change in airspeed, no extra drag, none of the aerodynamic things that might tell you that the gear didn't make it down in a real retract.

Sporty's, for all their overpriced junk they have, oddly sells a lot of these moronic "teaching aids" that people actually fall for and spend cash on.
Still trying to figure that one out. Still won't buy anything from Sporty's.
