    Talking Practicing steep turns the correct way

    There has been a lot of debate as to how steep to practice your "Steep Banked Turns" at. So I made a quick little video to show the proper way to do it in a Kitfox

    My airspeed always indicates low, and I am at 8500ft here so when I am cruising at 105mph over the ground I am normally indicating 85mph... Also, with the 29in bush wheels and bush gear I actually do have to point the nose down to hit 110-115mph!
