8 months with my new CubCrafters Carbon Cub FX-3 - lessons learned and tips to share
New to taildraggers, new aircraft owner, tips I took to help learn my new airplane and hope it helps others. I took it slow and put myself through a training plan to learn the new airplane and hopefully improve longevity. If you have tips to help others, please comment. I have not gone to the "real backcountry" yet, I'm working up to that. I've been off airport to fields in Virginia and will continue my training. I also plan to pursue training opportunities out west as I progress and travel to where I can enjoy the training opportunities from locations that offer it. If you want to receive training in your experimental aircraft consider getting a LODA: https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certific... CORRECTION: 18:36 I reversed the order of tones. You get chopped before steady tone in the G3X for stall warning. Tips for training: -Learn to fly slow! -Ask people that fly the same airplane for help -Share your lessons learned, ask questions -Fly often! Make yourself fly 1-2 times a week minimum and keep working on your proficiency and skills. You'll get much more comfortable and start to feel "one with your plane" soon. -Use cameras to record your flying as well as cockpit to review speeds then watch post flight for your own debrief -Get your POH and Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) from CubCrafters and study -SLOW SLOW SLOW -Spot Landing practice -Engine out landing practice -Best glide practice -Go arounds from full flap landing attempts -Learn to find the tones, steady and chopped and find the stalls, also look out your wing tip for AOA of these occurrences -Know your systems and avionics - fly educated about your airplane -Don't push it with weather, fly when winds are calm initially and also mornings and evenings to minimize challenges until proficient -Consider sticking with 3-point landings for a bit of time to land with minimum energy. I only do 3 point landings on pavement to minimize tire wear on bush wheels -Find an instructor if you're lucky to have one locally and keep improving and challenging yourself
