Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. This is often the clean configuration at max gross weight. As you increase the throttle, anticipate the need to add more right rudder. Trim for level flight once you’re stabilized at your target speed.

In order to be flown by a sport pilot, the resulting airplane must still meet the current regulations—1,320 pounds maximum gross weight, 120 knots max cruise speed, for example—but how it gets there is up to the builder. The rudder hardly calls attention to itself outside of having plenty of authority. A nuance, perhaps.

Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. These stick and rudder skills will help you with crosswind landings.

But I have maintained 5000 feet at 6000 pounds gross weight,” notes Ross. An elegantly simple rope system inside the fuselage raises and lowers the Gweduck’s water rudder mounted inside the base of the main rudder (right). Just recognizable in the background is a horizontal stabilizer and one-piece elevator.
