TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Humpty Bump technique" 10-11-02, 17:26z  Cary- >I would start by flying some loops >and noting the airspeed and Gs at the 90 degree point of >the loop. That would be my starting place for airspeed >and pull for the half-loop part of the humpty. I just re-read this, and I now realize that I am stupid. Yup, one clue short of having a clue. One beer short of a six-pack, one candle short of a chandelier, etc. My silly answer doesn't work, because you have to draw a line before the half-loop, and you slow down on the way up. Duh. Even if you started faster than normal loop entry speed, I don't know if the difference would matter much. So just forget what I said. Tom P. P.S. Thanks for the good wishes on my airplane!
