How Stabel can the Legal Eagle Fly Youtube Video

[leshoman]

For those that ask the question is the Legal Eagle a stable aircraft.  Saturday was a clear and beautiful day, almost calm. I had the video running with no goal in mind just to have fun flying.  While flying my hands had got cold and I rubbed them together to warm them up.  Conditions must have been almost ideal in terms of fuel burn to have balance point where i could fly hands off ( I did use rudder pedals a little to keep wings level, if it had been real calm would not have had to do that ) and by leaning forward could start a decent, nose down and by pulling everything back it would start to climb. I saw the video and thought it might provide some interest to the stable concerned crowd.

Great video Les. Looks like a beautiful day for flying after all the rain you guys finally got.

Les, you sure you don't have some glass-faced autopilot hidden in there?
It's sure nice to have days like that, apparently in abundance.  We'll get a perfect day every now and then, and I have flown DE Stubby hands off, but not as long as you demonstrated.
Set up right they are simple, honest airplanes.
