For safety incase of engine failure you should consider being high enough on final that you have to cut power and add a little slip to make landing. Also if engine can support it, maintain full throttle and climb at maximum angle of climb until pattern altitude. Be safe, and happy flying.
Thank You! Yes, I know, and I must practice it. Now I afraid to be too fast at airstrip's threshold but I know my mistake. Airstrip is just 220m (730ft) long with high obstacles behind and at both sides.
That’s a beautifully finished minimax. Is the canopy a flat wrapped sheet? If so, is it acrylic or polycarbonate and what thickness? I’m building a single seater and a flat wrap would be much cheaper than a molded canopy. The optical quality looks good on the video. What’s it like to look through? Many thanks.
Canopy is made of 3 piecies of 2mm polycarbonate sheet. Wrapped main part and 2side parts. It was the only way to get double curved surface without heating. Yes, optical quality is very good when You simply bend the sheet.
