vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Is this still done?" 11-21-02, 20:00z  Hi Dave - > 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. In this case the nose pitches up and over the knife edge - the tail describes a lower semicircle. > > 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. I like to watch just about anything that Patty does ( Sorry, Dale!)
