National Trust Air strips ?
I mentioned this to the National Trust as being of possible excellent addition to their services available to many of their members on the large number of properties they control. This came to mind having noticed that they accept payment for landings on Lundy Island. The reply was that this was an i...

Sorry for the silly waving but it shows off the space inside the Conder quite well.

Logically, at the end of the day, the correct setting is as per the manufacturers shop manual and any published updates. By Standard practice, if it aint broke, don't fix it seems to prevail with aircraft. In This case this doesn't seem to be a safety related issue when taking into account the many ...

I had a bit more think about the difference toe in or toe out would feel. The Condor undercarriage has a lot of rake angle when viewed from the side so if landed on 3 points apparent toe out would become outward camber. Apparent toe in would become inward camber. Neither would give much steer effect...

Hi, Thanks The, I'll give Pete a ring and see whats available. Ive heard that Jim and it makes sence to have some toe-in to counteract the legs splaying out on impact, but this on mine seems a little more than ideal.
