What is likely to occur if you lift off the runway before reaching rotation speed due to ground effect? Inability to climb Increase in stability Decrease in thrust required to maintain flight Correct!

This allows the airspeed to slowly dissipate while the airplane is flown just above the surface in ground effect. When the wheels first touch the ground, the proper technique allows the wings to continue supporting much of the weight of the airplane.

Trim for level flight once you’re stabilized at your target speed. To fight this overbanking tendency, add light aileron pressure in the opposite direction. Not Maintaining Heading Once you’ve practiced slow flight a few times, you’ll realize just how ineffective the ailerons are. Stay coordinated throughout the turn.

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). From the pilot’s seat it cruises near effortlessly and handles nimbly on land or water with a great combination of stability and modest control pressures.
