What about the nosewheel?

Is it free roaming/castoring?

Steer by differential braking?

Free castoring - so at NO point during the flare can you ever let the nose wheel touch. Steering is done wit differential breaking while at taxi speeds.

A friend of mine (Marine) who was stationed in Okinawa swears by Pokari Sweat, says it's great.  I found it at the Mitsuwa Market in Mar Vista, and it was ok.  I got some for him, and he was very excited.

Not bad.

I think the better question is how many Pokari need to be 'milked' to make eat bottleful.  

It's sweet tasting.

Tastes like Gatorade ice (the white one), less sugary.

LePaul, I thought u abandoned the BD5. The Tiger is like those small GA planes, they are very easy to fly, very nimble. As far as landing, they float for ever with full flaps.

I am unfamilliar with the speeds as I fly it all by feelings, looking outside. It is not unusual to see the noce wheel snap 90 degrees sideway on touch down, then snap right back into place, when the nose wheel touches the ground.

:lol  Well, I'll be a son-of-a-gun...it was YOU flying over my place in Costa Mesa!!!  

 :D

Great pics, Frenchy.  I remember seeing sky writing just a short time ago.  Text was hard to read because of the winds.  Not sure if it was your team up there, though.

What a small world.

I read, write, and speak Thai, and Korean.

It is a "Korean" Soda can,.. ( not Japanese )

and it simply says " Puh-kar-lee-soo-weh-tu" which means... Picarli sweat etc.

Yeager 2, check out this link:

Maybe the can on the pic is for Korea, the product is definitly Japaneese.



Small world Enduro :) Yes it was my team, we are the only team remaining in the world, AND we have a patent so no one else can Skytype:cool:

Yeager2, and here

I sold mine 2 years ago since the offer was so good...and I was in the midst of moving, so the financial boost was nice too.

I'm still a BD-5 fan.  I think its a neat little plane, especially the jet version.  Im not sure if Id do another one.  I'd much rather have something that can lug a passenger and some baggage.
