Terry, thanks for documenting the building and flying of Tango Alpha One! Also thanks to Dave Edwards for having a sufficiently thick skin to withstand 20 plus years of the ultralight community online forums and the "armchair aeronautical engineers" that moderate those forums criticizing and damning his design as a death trap for anyone foolish enough to buy the plans and actually build and fly the Affordaplane.
Your videos have really inspired me to try to fly again I’ve been dealing with a struggle with getting back up in the air since my dads ultralight accident but flying is such an amazing thing I just need to get passed this obstacle of fear
Most enjoyable watch. I hope you had a lot of fun flying. I hope to build one later this year, but first I must gen up on the European rules governing microlites. Thanks for a most enjoyable video.
There are 4 cables that create a diamond from tail to wings and forward to the nose. They help stabilize the airframe and minimize any potential tail wag.
60 hours! Go Terry! Hey Terry, do you have to “ fly it to the ground”? In other words, is it real draggy and has to have the power on all the way to touchdown?
It does have a bit of drag, but I have just found my way to land is to keep the airspeed around 50 mph and wheel land, giving a touch of down elevator as the wheels touchdown.
