DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Is this still done?" 11-21-02, 19:18z  I haven't seen that manuever done exactly that way (I am understanding that the rudder pitches the nose down and around in knife edge). In a way it sounds like a "split-S" but it (split-S) isn't done in knife edge, the pilot rolls inverted and pulls through to level. I have seen Patty do a manuever I like where she pulls up in a quarter loop. At the 90 degree point she rolls 90 degrees to knife edge and then uses the rudder to more or less do a wing-over to a 45 degree downline, where she rolls level. Not sure why but I like to watch that one. Dave Hamblin (formerly DaveH on old site!) Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
