Question, how many here are involved with real airplanes?

How do they stop the blades from cutting the tail off at start up? (they hang so low)

I think the blades almost immediately go up slightly because of the air coming under the blades when the engine starts. The blades are very big so there's al lot of air under them.

Still need to get them moving fast enough to do that...

It used to be 1 and 3 for me.
I've had a ppl-a, flew 152, 172, Archer, Mooney 201 and i've worked on UH1-D, Alouette, CH53-G and Bo105.

Flown 172's 152's Piper Warriors and a Skyfox Gazelle. Now grounded through getting too old (diabetes) but converting to an Australian ultralight license with less onerous medical requirements when I get around to it.

Romanator,isn´t that at Monino?

60 odd hours in C-152's and PA-38's

Unfortunately I haven't flown for years as there has always been other priorities.

Hence the obsession with the flight sims.

Nothing worse than being an Eagle with his wings clipped!

Cheers!

I have about 650 hours of single and multi-engine time, mostly in Cessnas. Plus, about 50 hours in gliders. I have owned and flown two gliders. First a Phoebus B and then a Libelle 201B. I have flown the L-23, L-33, 2-33, and Grob 103 several times, also.

No, it's at Zhuliany airport in Kiev, Ukraine. I'd love to see Monino at least once though!
