Dease Lake (CYDL) to Muddy Lake (BD7)

[pivo11]

I got those Zimertek trees and tried them out on short trip to drop off some hunters and their gear.  Got some stuttering now and agin but not too bad.  It may have been the 207 as well.  More tests are needed but so far I like the trees but I'm not sure that they're that much better than the Orbx trees.  We'll see.











I thought I'd missed the strip but it's after the lake.  Even so, I think I landed on the road!

Nice shots Fritz. Yeah, I've been into Muddy. Interesting approach if you have to come from the opposite direction . Is muddy in the Tongass area? I find it harder on frames than Orbx regions, so that could also be the source of the stutters.

Both Dease Lake and Muddy Lake are in the Orbx Alaska region.  I don't think I'd like to try to get into Muddy from the other direction.

It's do-able, but you have to do a pretty tight turn in the valley, then drag it in with power just above the stall and fly it on. It does work though.

Well, I'll have to give it a try one of these days.

Practice your Immelmann or your Chandelle, if you have the width!

That's kind of what I did Don. It's rather tight otherwise, but not impossible. I used to do a modified form of one of those IRL just for practice. As long as you didn't haul back on the stick to keep your sink rate from getting too high (and thus loading the wings), you could sure make a tight turn AND lose height at the same time. You want to practice it up high a few times first though .
