However, the Tandem model I flew in Florida had rather low response from the electric flap lever. This is because the first choice of servo was underpowered for the job meaning TEAM had to move the surfaces more slowly. It gave the system a feel of sloppy linkage when in fact, it was mostly a matter of time passing. Now, Wayne Ison reports that the flap servo uses a more powerful motor. Another predictable area of good quality associated with TEAM is stability and the Tandem proves this once again.
Stalls are very gentle and always broke straight forward.
Since Ison added the 30 inches of span to the Tandem, the stall speeds dropped a bit. Power on stalls require liberal amounts of rudder which is not an unusual situation. Later when flying dual, I noted that stall speeds changed very little at break. Compared to the single seat Air-Bike, the Tandem won't be as enjoyable for that special kind of flying just five feet over agricultural fields. Yet it is a quality machine for instruction as a 103 exempt vehicle or for joy rides if N-numbered.
