Follow author LeRoy Cook on a tour of
the retractable-gear airplanes you’ve always wanted to learn more
about.
Flying the Light Retractables
is an informative journey through the development history of each
plane with plentiful insight into design considerations,
evolutionary changes, advantages and disadvantages of the different
models, and background on maintenance issues.
Pilots or potential owners will
really get a sense of the subtle or not-so-subtle differences; this
is like going flying with the author and having the advantage of his
eye for detail and sense of observation.
Cook gives a unique perspective on
ergonomics, control feel and other features that work or don’t work
for the pilot and/or passengers. Cook has spent many hours in
different makes of aircraft. As a potential buyer, you’re most
interested in performance and economic trade-offs, and Cook excels
in such details.
His balanced discussion stacks the
technical detail (speeds, loads, etc.) against economic factors.
You’re not swamped with numbers, but you come out with a good sense
of what you need and want to know about flying these light
retractable-gear airplanes.
