LKAiiNIX(i TO
FLY IS KASY
Elliot W. Si>rin_;s. of Fort
Mill*. S. ('.. Says It is No
Harder To Do Than Driving
An Automobile Women
Learn Easier Than .Men.
Elliot White Springs, ail
experienced aviator of Fort
.Mills, S. in a recent inter
view said that learning to fly
doesn't require the diflicult and
tedious instruction the armv
led people to believe during the
war. "I can teach any normal
individual between the ages of
li> :md (50 to fly a plane in lo
!I Hl rs l if good weather."
Mr. Springs explains his sys
••■M thus:
I take the pupil up and joy
him for l"i minutes. Then
i ■ ake him put his hands on
e Other -et i.f eoiitl'ols aild
I- fi 'el oil 'he other rilddet
while 1 maneuver the
; lane. lie t (jell sees t hat it'
e wishes in swing the nose of
tie plane to the right. he
I i-dies wit h his right foot :
that if he wants t.i depress
the right wing, he pushes the,
control stick to the right, and
if he wants to pull the nose up,
he pulls back on the stick.
That's no more difficult than
teaching Junior how to guide
his kiddie kar.
j TEACH EM TO FLY.
"Then 1 turn the rudder over
to him and let him steer the
plane. 1 do all the rest and
just let him work the rudder.
As soon as he is able to kee.)
the plane pointed at a spot on
the horizon I let him put his
'hands on the stick and keep
the nose. The pupil flops
around the sky until he gets
the hang of keeping the ship
level, and the first lesson is
ended in about an hour and a
half.
"The next time he makes a
few gentle turns, does a few
stalls and learns to glide down
with the motor off. In four
hours he is landing the plane,
with a bit of advice from me,
and in six hours I am a pas
jsengerand let him practice un
til hi> has the confidence and
technique to go solo. Ten
hours is plenty. I've known
men who went solo in two
I hours, and some that took 40.
"The flying schools base
[their tuition on 10 hours' in
struction. My experience has
been that people who have had
musical training pick it up
quickest. They have already
been trained to co-ordinate
mind and body.
TWO GOOD METHODS.
"The hardest kind of pupils
to instruct are those who
know more about it than I do.
I usually dive suddenly, and
pull up sharp a few times, and
beat their brains out on the top
wing. Some instructors prefer
a lead pipe but it's hard to
make that look accidental.
"The most difficult thing to
master is landing the plane. If
you want to stop a car, you
cut off the power and put on
brakes. If you want to dock
an ocean liner, you turn off the
steam and whistle for a tug.
But a plane must IK* taken
from one medium of support
and placed in another at a high
| rate of speed. That's not easy.
"The wings do not get
: enough pressure to lift the
fuselage until the speed
j reaches a certain point, which
is about «5 miles an hour for
light pleasure planes and 70
miles an hour for heavy mili
tary planes. To get this speed,
the plane must run along the
ground. Hence the need for a
| long open space.
BRAKES ON PLANES.
' "The plane must be faced in
to the wind to prevent sida
pressure, so the field must be
| square for use in changing
winds. To land after a flight
the plain mii.-t be brought
within a few feet of the ground
at the moment the speed drops
below the stalling point and
the wings no longer support it •
weight. The transfer from air
support to ground support is
then made and the plane run
along the ground, gradually
losing speed. The length of
the run may be reduced by the
use of brakes, but they are a
very recent development and
still in the experimental stage.
1 am trying them out now but
will withhold my opinion until
it's worth something.
"Let us say the plane we are
flying lands at 40 miles per
hour—which means that the
air will not support the wings
at a speed li than that. 1
must teach the pupil to get the
plane within a few feet of the
ground when the speed drops
to In miles an hour, and still
have room enough ahead
him for ihe plane to stop roll
in;.''. It sounds harder than i:
really is. and I can teach you
to do it more easily than I can
tell you the process.
TENDENCY OF I'ITILS.
"One tendency of pupils is
to come down too slowly when
; they are trying to land. They
let the speed fall below 40 miles
; per hour and the plane begins
to fall. It will fall until the
| speed rises above 40; but if
lit hits the ground in the mean
| time—there ends the first les
son. Having done that once,
'the pupil then goes to the op
posite extreme and comes down
too fast.
j "If he comes down at 70 and
levels off to run across the
ground the plane will have
enough speed from the momen
itum to take off again. Where
i upon he is no better off than
he was before. Or perhaps he
will bounce when his wheels
| touch at this high speed, and
the plane will fall with a crash,
This won't hurt anybody but
it will play havoc with the
i plane.
I "Or, again, he may make ;i
! nice smooth landing and then
'find himself confronted with ;i
ditch or a barn or a fence or ii
group of interested spectators,
The ditch or the barn or tin
fence will wreck the plane, iinil
it's still against the law to kill
spectators, though I don't see
why.
"I suppose 1 have «I*en JI
thousand bad landings made by
pupils and corrected in time by
instructors without doing the
slightest damage. I have seen
at least a hundred accidents in
landing after the pupils went
solo, but I have never seen any
one seriously injured while
making a landing on an air
drome. Most fatal accidents
are caused by an unpremeditat
ed contact with terra firma."
DANGEROUS FLYING.
Stunt flying and exhibitions
are blamed by Mr. Springs for
many of the fatal accidents.
The aviator said he had put
! on more than 50 stunts for var
ious organizations and had
never asked for a penny, even
for expense.
He explained how he con
verted a cotton field near his
home into "an airdrome" anil
1 how he flew a SI,OOO plane for
, four years, covering 25,00U
i miles, and sold it for almost as
' much as he paid for it.
j Women make the coolest
fliers, Mr. Springs contends. He
finds they never seem to bothei
about anything but keeping
,their skirts down, "but I havt
never left the ground with u
man who wasn't visibly un
' easy." Mr. Springs says hi.
wife has been flying for years
l an dthe only time he ever saw
1 her frightened was when sht
saw a caterpillar in the cock
' 'pit.
The ridge method of culti
vating tobacco is best; tht
roots must have plenty of air.
