petermcleland 48 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well I got out of Lilly Lake with a fair bit of water to spare...I think the 14 knots of wind helped! Enroute now towards Kitoi Bay...I'm flying the straight line today and using the FLIGHT map to find the destination. I cruise at 90% power and I have found it easier to set with my Touch Pilot on iPad rather than the wheel on my joystick. To finely adjust the elevator trim, I place the mouse pointer on the stick button and use the mouse wheel...I find from practice that with nearly full fuel, 37% Nose Down gives level flight then as the weight gets down a bit, 38%. Here I am coming to the end of the landing run in Kitoi Bay...I will need to turn 180 and taxy back to the exact location. Taxying downwind with 14 knots of wind on the tail means that the spray is blown forwards over the aeroplane! One thing that shows here is the Fuel icon at top right...This only comes up when you have reached the location and thus lets you know when you have arrived. There is no point in using it as there is no fuel here and all you can do is remove some fuel if you wish. Here I have the engine ticking over but the wind is helping to blow the aeroplane towards the beach...I am lowering the gear here as we get near the bottom. The Map on Full Zoom confirms that we have arrived. As the wheels beach, the aircraft rocks a bit and needs a bit of power to get up onto dry firm land. And here we are safely beached at Kitoi Bay.

mutley 4,487 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Still looking good, that sea is still looking awesome, interesting to see you using your iPad to control her. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Another good flight - Thanks for sharing Peter. Can you show us a picture of the iPad in operation, please? Sounds interesting... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
petermcleland 48 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is what my iPad looks like with TouchPilot working:- It works better with the Carbon Cub as there are more things that can be allocated...I have also set it up for FS9 (it works with any Flight Simulator that uses a Joystick as it is seen as an extra joystick with many buttons).
