Title: I ground looped Legal Eagle XL SR 7-12.
Post by: leshoman on January 29, 2023, 05:43:46 PM

not sure how to load youtube videos but this my help others to prevent a problem.  I was carried away saving weight and reduced room for rudder pedals and my feet and resulted in ground loop.  Sometimes it is better to give up a few ounces and add safety.
