The Taylor Titch in the making.
Click Here's the finished product.
This is a beautiful airplane
which is 27 feet wingtip to
wingtip
Although Bobbie mostly flew the
Luscombe, she also had a chance to take her turn at the Titch. No
one told her that the Titch had a stall speed of somewhere around ninety
miles per hour. She took the plane up and around the pattern with
no problem, but, when she came in for a landing and slowed it down to what
she considered a normal landing speed, the plane stalled and dropped onto
the runway. She collapsed the landing gear and damaged the
wings. Her only injury, thank God, was a bruised elbow. Of
course the Titch was repaired and flew again. |
