  • P-factor is not a scale of how bad you have to p, after doing slow flight and stall maneuvers for two hours after drinking three cups of complimentary coffee at the FBO.

  • @edlitz36 well you clearly have nothing left to say. i make thos animations for fun because me and my mates have a laugh at them, if you dont like them, stop "wasting your life" watching them haha.

  • @TheWhiteOwl23 I fail, really? I don't waste my life making stick figure cartoons.

  • @edlitz36 hahaha yeah thats why im working hard as a pilot. in reality. you fail.

  • @TheWhiteOwl23 Sure, you tell yourself that. It's easier not to live in reality, isn't it?

  • @edlitz36 haha the funny hting is that in the time that it took for you to reply since i made the comment, im at EIT and currently have my ppl licence. but thanks anyway loser

  • @TheWhiteOwl23 Flight training is difficult and expensive. But don't worry, you'll never be a pilot. You make stick figure cartoons. Pretty lame.

  • @jigglyfidda125 No he was just talking bullshit.None of it made sense.He didn't know what he was talking about.

  • a funny phenomenon of slow flight is that at times you can really become aware of the difference between your airspeed and groundspeed..if you have a decent enough headwind, you can actually come close to hovering...my cfi said that he's seen conditions where the plane actually moved backwards in relation to the ground...winds aloft are much different than surface winds...can you imagine looking up at a little piper and see it slowly moving backwards?

  • that must be a Cessna 172 or 152.
