madras problems/150tw

hello: i have a bolens/bush 150 hp tw cessna 150L. i have a lot of time in aeronca's (old prewar tc-65), i recently moved up and acquired the cessna (wanting to go fast, i guess). problem: horrible rudder shadowing in 70 degree x-wind; in 8kt xwind rudder control disappears; very scary--the airknocker never did this. also, ac hardly able to slip. i presume all this is due to the madras tips. anyone have a similar situation? the pro re the tips is that they lower the stall speed to about 35 mph indicated. - eric jacobson Apr 25, 08 ( post a reply... )

Eric: Just loged on today read your note. I have madras tips plus micro vg's--have no problem with full slips-handles just fine. slow flight easy at 40 with manuvers. stalls at about 35 also. slips are no different than they were before I installed the tips. ----Jim Oliver - James Oliver Jan 24, 09 ( post a reply... )
