Jodel

[BOBBY787]

Another good looking Jodel (I'm thinking of building one!) and the maneuver is nicely done, but this appears to be a forward slip (i.e. a side slip is used to counteract a crosswind--aka a 'side' wind--by banking the aircraft into the crosswind while using opposite rudder to keep the aircraft's nose aligned with the runway's centerline all the way to touchdown; eliminating the need for the 'crab' seen just before the flare in this video.

Thoughts?

WOW!!! Fantastic flying! I bought my D112 4 weeks ago and am practicing my sideslipping, your film has given me something to aim for! Thanks!!

i am designing and building an RC Jodel DR-1050 with working speed brakes

[pomadom]

Great.. build one a little bigger and sit in it :-)

I wish i could, but with british aerospace authority laws, i wouldn't be able to fly it :( i have neither the plane nor the money to get into real planes, thats why i do rc, to atleast scratch the surface and feed my love for aviation :(

[pomadom]

that's why so many English people are moving out to New Zealand..

[pomadom]

easy just cross the controls and keep on line. For cross wind just piont the nose into wind and keep your line . That fly down the line

Top landing, I need to learn how to side slip.

[mrjodel]

nice job!!!

[pomadom]

love doing it.. I can land a Jodel now shorter that a cessna with 40 degree flaps. The Jodel doesnt have flaps

Have you seen Murray sideslipping his Jodel? I'll post a video next time I catch him at it.

[pomadom]

That would be good if you can do that
