Non flying solo flight training via a Penguin
Every once in a while someone brings up the old Penguin flight training system. The "Penguin" was one example of an under powered "airplane" the students could be turned loose with to practice high speed taxi (important with a tail wheel). The idea was to learn yaw and pitch control without actually flying. The aircraft did not have enough power to make it around the pattern.
The program these days is usually associated with some sort of youth program to avoid the liability of actually letting the kids fly into danger.
I am interested in talking with others who may have an interest in starting such a program.
Is there an interest in EAA youth activities to provide such a program at Pioneer field?
Does anyone have an old airframe to contribute to such a program? A single seat glider would be preferred.
Is there an EAA Chapter that would take up construction of an EAA Penguin.
