Smith S-10

891 2Cav19K  6.0 years ago

The Nettle was designed for the pilot with a thin wallet. The plane is cheap. That’s where the perks stop. It’s not fast, it’s not pretty, it doesn’t fit in a T-hangar, and it has a short range.

The nettle is perfect for flight schools and flying clubs. When you need time, the nettle will buid it for a dime.

Landing speed is around 65mph. 25-33% power and full trim. Gets a bit flippy but get the right angle of attack and you’ll stick the landings every time.
