Minimax N349LE Second Flight - 360° video

Описание: I re-uploaded this in better quality here:    • Minimax N349LE Second Flight - 360° video ...  

See what it's like to sit in the pilot seat of a MiniMax.

After installing the large cylinder head on the Hirth F33 I took the MiniMax up for a second flight. The engine temps are no longer a problem. After reaching a safe altitude I did a couple of stalls, I noticed a slight buffeting a couple MPH above the stall. The stall was about 40MPH indicated, I was hoping my camera would capture the ground speed and air speed so I can determine how accurate the airspeed indicator is but the ground speed is not readable in the video and I did not make a note of it in flight. I suspect the airspeed indicator is reading higher than actual by 5-10MPH.

So far my only disappointment is the climb rate. I think I will try swapping the 14 degree pitch blocks with the 15 degree ones I have but I doubt that will help much. Since I cannot go larger diameter maybe a three blade prop would do better. But to get performance that will make me happy I suspect she simply needs more horsepower.

3:40 - Takeoff
14:40 - 1st stall
17:00 - 2nd stall
22:00 - Landing

Video was shot using an Instal 360 One X mounted on my helmet.
