Default Density Altitude

Although you may have had a high density altitude, I'll bet you didn't have to roll very far for take-off. That is one thing that amazed me with the -10 - how quickly she wants to fly!

Congrats.

Doug.

Doug you are right - amazing!

One or two small snags to sort out as usual.

Default Sorry guys

Sorry guys - more pictures - cannot sleep!
In the second one - notice how the nose wheel sits offset - we were wondering why?

I can think of two possibilities for the wheel alignment:

1) You may have been in a slight slip when the picture was taken.

2) The wheel pant might be aligning itself with the prop slip stream... although I would expect it to turn the other direction.

I guess you have an excuse to take more pictures!

Dont forget it is summer where he lives, thus it is below the equator.

Southern hemisphere toilets swirl backward I have been told, so.......................

Just kidding

Also, why do you guys down under drive from the RIGHT seat but fly from the LEFT seat. Along with swirling bathtubs, winter is summer, and kangaroo boxing, it's all so strange!
