Second leg!! very nice leg and challenging. A lot of clouds but lucky not at the high necesary to pass over the peaks so I did it correctly over all of them. The descent was like kamikaze near break speed and the landing very very challenging because I did it in the land in between the river but it is not flat.. so had to find the proper area to land. Nice and no crash. Going to put a tent here to spend the night in this marvelous zone. fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?flight=Zs3D9DGSVb0s7Xc8czNaXSW3Vk |

Yeah, that's a tough area to land at. Especially with all those bushes that want to eat your plane!
(And it seems some you can run over without problems, and others will make your plane explode at the slightest touch — and I can never tell the difference, so I always stay FAR AWAY from them...)
But what happened to your speed? The ground speeds listed on duenna seem to be WAY lower than they should've been (with the fairly neutral winds you had).
Or is it just duenna being confused again?

ahhh I forgot to register... I did now.
About the speed, Don't know what you mean Kronzky.. The Katana in stabilized flight more or less is at 100 knots GS or less as indicated in the GPS. The descent to land this time was speedy because I pitch down too much.. but that is not usual.. This plane is really slow. I can have more speed but I would force the engine and that would mean maybe to break in the middle of a flight. I have to preserve it.

It's probably just duenna reporting nonsense... But in the aircraft listings it's shown as having a maximum speed of 124kts, and on your first run you easily reached 110 and more (still a bit short of the maximum, but at least close). But on this one duenna's graph barely reaches 100kts, and the report only shows speeds in the 60s and 70s, with just a little peak up to 121kts. P.S. I just realized that in the report there are huge gaps happening all the time, of 5 to 10 minutes each, and what's listed is really just partial snapshots of the whole thing, e.g. it reports ok for the first two minutes or so (15:55:22 - 15:56:11), and then there's a jump to 16:01:10, and later you have another big jump from 16:09:17 to 16:19:17 (where, I guess, you started the descent, and had the brief speed peak). |

Don't know about the jumps.... Well.. 2 weeks ago I found that the live web page that records the flight in real time was not online. I couldn't start.. but once it reconnected I could. Maybe in the middle of the flight the online webpage is offline sometimes and that is the reason it jumps... Don't know... I just make the flight and that is all. Just enjoy.  |
