I’m not Lindbergh… This trip was ambitious for me, but quite common in the general aviation community. I also departed with the minimum amount of fuel I was comfortable with (airlines use this strategy to increase performance and/or increase payload capacity). Small aircraft are designed for these kinds of flights.

Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. Application of Newton’s Third Law in Aviation When we talk about airplanes, we focus primarily on two forces: Lift (how the aircraft stays aloft). This has only been possible by understanding the laws of physics.

The wing’s dead-smooth surface plus the tight-fitting aileron and flap brackets plus aileron gap seals give the build a professional factory look (left). One thing I did find was in a quick reversal from a steep bank right to a steep bank left I was able to stall the ailerons—it felt like a detent in the middle of the aileron travel.
