Huey V77 03-Jun-17 19:12 I have 100hrs in a home built biplane known as a Smith Miniplane. If I held the wings level and held my arm straight out the plane would turn. My arm created that much drag. It only had 100 sq ft of wing area, crused at 110 mph. Landed at 85 mph . Didn't have much of a glide. 1 to 1 so to say. For every foot forward it descended one foot. rgood 03-Jun-17 23:37 The Druine Turbulents that I used to fly in the UK in the 70's & 80's also were very small - had a VW flat-four engine and cruised at 80 knots - very light on the controls a delight to go aloft in. That aircraft also makes a nice flying model! Please sign in to comment on this image.
