Where did I wish he had a crash?

Another unusual attitude I would like to talk
about is a pitch up to say 70 degrees.

Again, instincts are wrong.  Pushing a whole
lot of negative G to force the nose down is
not the best answer.

A half roll to the inverted steep upline, and
then gently letting the nose drop, keeping
gentle positive G on, is a far better maneuver.

With a little practice, it is not difficult to
learn to spiral 1/2 roll upright from inverted,
keeping gentle positive G the entire time. 

Think of the second half of a aileron roll.

I remember flying with an aerobatic instructor
who taught on a German piece of junk with
no inverted systems, and a fixed pitch prop,
which was a recipe for prop overspeed and
unnecessary workload, but that's not important
right now.

Anyways, he said you couldn't do a 1/2 cuban-8
because it didn't have inverted systems.

What hogwash.  Learn to spiral 1/2 roll from
inverted to upright 45 down.  Just like the
second half of an aileron roll.

Anyways, it's really easy.  Get any TC Inspector
to show it to you.  Or maybe Rui in Winnipeg,
where a [i]three digit IQ[/i] makes you a rocket
scientist in comparison to your neighbors.

Shiny,


I did not "make up" anything,,,  I heard through the grapevine the landing gear on a seneca that was being leased by MRC had been damaged.

Oh and Shiny,


Chuck and I dont have to wish crashing on anyone,, the "experts" dont seem to need any help.

I like a good dog pile as much as the next guy but it is pretty tired.

Shiny,


was more than just minor damage- in fact, it was explained to me it was written off.

Ok,


Here is the whole story -


" I heard through the grapevine MRC crashed a seneca that was on lease from another school (Because the technams "are not safe"),  tore the gear off and its a write off"


Happy now ?
