I came across the attached some time ago. It gives a good explanation of when to go fast and when to go slow.

(It's not my work and I don't know who the author is. If someone knows please PM me, please, so that I can add credit.)

Going to have a beer and fly party, Hopefully we can get a few of the newer pilots joining so we can all have a nice stress free flight. You can even go and do a few loops if you want to. Just a big gathering and close flying with no winner. Relax you for the weekend. :D :wink: 19:30 Friday evening,
Server name "Fawlty Towers" Join time will be for as long as i can get it. No points won or lost so fly as long or as short as you want, Leave at anytime. :wink:
