I suppose on a tandem that would be the stoker's job. Not necessarily. An attachment might be made the electric shift (for power) and a simple timer and some sort of winch to retract the log line. I would imagine that with a proper sales program that they might become as vital a piece of equipment as a power meter. -- cheers, John B. |

While you are not incorrect, student pilots are first trained in VFR (visual Flight Regulations) before learning IFR (Instrument flight Regulations). One of the reason is that when one is up there buzzing around and wants to come down it is a lot easier to just go where you can see :-) -- cheers, John B. |
