Hi, All recommandations are very helpfull. Lomecevak seem to be difficult to do well with safety. I think more difficult than it appears in video.well job and thank you to share.
Jeff, Enjoyed your first Yak 50 spring 2020 practice flight. A very clean, steady and flawless performance with the new bird! Thank you for sharing the experience, I'm looking forward to future airshows once your back is ready for take-off! Stay well and best regards, Pete M.
Hi Geoff, fantastic to watch you in “my” Yak....wonderful to see it again and I’m enjoying watching your posts very much! Best wishes from Tony in Australia!
Nice detailed video Geoff, very helpful to understand what’s going on. Really looking forward to seeing the full display routine and I hope your back gets better soon.
Hello I never got a chance to fly a real plane, but would love to start my journey through simulators. May I ask how heavy are the flight controls when performing a high AOA turn. I am trying to get a joystick that reflects to the real world aircraft like your yak.
The YAK-50 is lighter in pitch as compared to some other aircraft, so even at higher G (7+) the relative stick force load is light. At high AoA it's well balanced in pitch and still very responsive. On the other hand, it's quite heavy in roll forces as compared to other contemporary aircraft. Good luck in your aviation journey!
@@wongarnold2879 the same can be true in real aircraft. If you exceed the critical AoA through applying excessive pitch control, aircraft can depart controlled flight. The trick isn't necessarily the force of the pull, but how far back you apply the stick in conventional aircraft (digital flight control systems are a whole different conversation). In aircraft with lighter stick forces in pitch, like the YAK-50, I use smooth and precise movements. My suggestion is get a joystick with a longer length of travel which would allow you to get more precise movements. I hope that helps!
@@wongarnold2879 generally there is buffeting on the wing that can be felt in the cockpit, and it can be quite strong. Some aircraft can have tail buffeting that can be felt in the stick or control column, but is usually less pronounced than the wing buffet. This occurs just prior to the stall, and just after CLmax, or Coefficient of Lift Max.

Great job Geoff!
Thanks Kyle!
Some cool aerobatics and I have enjoyed this little show in a Russian Airplane Thanks a lot !! 😊😊
Cheers and thanks!

Fantastic! Once this pandemic is over, I am eager to display her at shows! Cheers!!
Awesome Geoff - well done!
Thank you!

Thank you. I can't wait to get back at it!
Beautiful! Gee, I miss that sound!
The "sound of round" is always wonderful! The M14P and HS6A are particularly great sounding radials!
Are you still flying airshows? I fly a yak52 and loved this video!
Cheers, and thank you! I'm not flying airshows right now, but I may return to the circuit in the future.
Love it!
Thanks!!!!!

@@GeoffLatterAirshows The problem with my old joystick is that, they are so easy to move and causing flat-spins when I pull back the stick.

May I ask is there a particular feedback, when an airplane is about to stall. For example does the control column shakes??

Thank you I enjoyed that. Check out my Yak 52 videos on my channel.
Thanks. Great channel by the way!
