If you want to have fun, get a instructor, then here is what you do At 100mph straight and level look at your compass (I'll tell you why later)
Start pulling the wheel firmly until it hits the stops. You will be nose high but still not stalled When it hits the stops turn full left or right (your choice) UNTIL the wings are at 60 degrees or so (do not exceed more than 90 degrees). then center the controls. ### caution if you get good with you will be tempted to roll it ( DO NOT ROLL IT ) The coupe can not do a split S... Then hold on for a sec. the tail and nose will switch places and then level the wings....... (it is called a slice back, 100% real fun... done right one G the whole way around) Done wrong, pull power and recover, (check for blue on top and green on bottom) you will not be upside down and you sould not pull more than 2 G's And if done right look at your compass, you are going 180 from the direction you started. A guy with a zillion hours showed me this one...... oh yea his name is Bob Hover. (being a CAP cadet was great - back in 70's) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 14, 1999 3:18 PM Subject: Re: Rolls? > On 06/14/99 08:47:47 you wrote: > > > >At 08:54 AM 6/14/99 -0400, you wrote: > >>Hi Everyone: > >> > >>Can you do aileron rolls in a 2 control Coupe??
