Youtube video Stalls in Legal Eagle XL from Chase Cam view
« on: February 14, 2015, 08:58:33 PM »
Finally things come together and today i was able to get some video of stalls using the end of wing mounted Chase Cam.  In that this was the first time doing stalls with chase cam i was not real agressive, although with the Legal Eagle ultralights they are not met to get agressive with.  Next time will get more into stalls in turns and at full power.  Most of these stall were using between 1,800 and 2,400 rpm and I did not use the text book, go to full power and climb approach. As the stall is approached the machine begins to buffet, ever so slightly but it shows up big time in chase cam.  If you hold the stick back after it breaks it seems to flatten out somewhat and just mushes downward slowly.  Gentle stalls in a turn seems to almost flatten out as the stall is reached and it is just a normal stall then.   Rudder seems to hold the wings level and picks them up very nicely, did not take a lot.  I did not see what happens using aileron to hold the wings up.

Altitude was 1500 agl.  I wanted to be able to play for a while without need to climb back up.  I thought about taking the oxygen tank and mask but decided to just tuff it out
