I view the boards much more than I actually participate. Came across this, thought everyone would enjoy.

Yes, we did enjoy it...LAST WEEK!

You failed to follow the instructions in the video. Thanks anyway.

Oops, guess I'm not participating as much as you ( beating head against wall screaming "stupid, stupid, stupid..." )

Just jokin' around with you, but it was posted a few days ago.

Understood. Just stumbled across it and thought I may have posted it first. I read the boards much more than I utilize them. Either way, I got a laugh out of it.

Oh by the way, just curious why the gear down Vy and Vx is a less IAS than a gear up condition on the Arrow IV. Didn't mean to throw that at you directly, but just had the thought pop up, as I am preparing for the CFI practical. Didn't want to start a new thread. So here's the Vx,
Vy speeds

Gear up Vy: 90kts
" " up Vx: 78 kts


Gear down Vy: 78kts
" " up Vx: 72kts
Having a hard time understanding why the higher drag config has a lower IAS, Under 79kts is "back of the power curve".
