Gavin, Inspired by your message, I'm working on a page for Standard Cirrus airspeeds. I've calculated a table for Vne (indicated) vs altitude and plan to put...
Jim look at the yellow menu bar on the left hand side of this page. Fifth line down is 'files' click on that. You will then see 3 folders. Click on the one...
... I'm still lost. Where is "this page"? ... I've been told that one technique for painting competition letters is to use a paint that will dissolve with...
I know the theory of a tail stall, but have never heard of a Standard Cirrus having one. According to Dick Johnson, a tail stall is possible in a glider on...
In his book "Winning on the Wind," George Moffatt describes a tail stall/spin he experienced during the 1970 Worlds which he subsequently won in the then brand...
I don't if you do winch launching in the US. The stall is also possible at the beginning of start. Just the moment when the glider get airborn. Then the wings...
Does anyone have an English flight and maintenence manual in electronic format? My French is not good enough to translate my paper copy!!! Also I am after...
I own Hull #175, no I don't know if this is when they changed the wing twist. I am having my ship measured and I will let Jim know. The reason for this mail is...
Thom, Check the Italian page of the image gallery at the Std. Cirrus web site. Arnaldo Salvaterra shows his head rest. You can see the front shelf behind it....
If you look at my page http://www.wingsandwheels.com/Used%20Parts.htm you will see I still have a few old parts including the seat cover panel for the Standard...
Since I am shortly off to a wave camp, I would like to know if anyone in the group might have a suggestion (hopefully based on experience!) as to how best to...
Thom Martin Cropper and I own #173 which we think is pre-twist but haven't investigated it any more than the info on the Standard Cirrus website yet. In our...
I just got a message containing a virus from your computer through the Standard Cirrus email group. You may not be aware that your computer is infected but...
Hi, For those of you without antivirus protection, the previous email with this title was the Klez.h@mm virus. I'd advise you not to open the "IT" attachment....
Gavin, Thank you so very mush. Did you have some photos that you could attach to the next e-mail you might send? Thanks in advance, Thom EY N919N ... From:...
Thom sorry I forgot to mention the important bit. I have created a folder called 'CNN #173' in the photos section in the standard cirus Yahoo Groups web page ...
I have received only one response to the question on a benign spiral for the standard cirrus and that pilot was as at a loss as am I as to how to perform one. ...
I did not answer this previously, as I've not done it myself. I must admit, I've tried and chickened out a few times in practice attempts. I suppose that the...
Jeff, and group, I assume your account was of someone who was not flying a Std. Cirrus? At least for those of us who have all-flying tails, hands off doesn't ...
After 400 hours in my Std Cirrus, I would not recommend counting on the benign spiral procedure as an out should you find yourself in cloud. The aircraft has...
If benign spiral is not a good option due to dynamic instability even with a fixed stick, is not then a spin the only way through cloud cover if that becomes...
Jay, I think the previous poster's advice is sage. This is an avoidable situation. None the less, it is wise to have a backup plan you hope to never use. Re:...
This has been a real good discussion. Maybe one of the most important regarding flying the Standard Cirrus. After only a few attempts, I found the benign...
