This maneuver is basically
a flat inverted spin where the plane is not loosing altitude. It can
be entered as a normal inverted flat spin but you add power, which
increases the spin rate. You then start to relax the elevator as the
plane will have a tendency to get squarely and you will need to
juggle the ailerons to hold the wings level.
Depending on the plane,
you will end up with about half throttle, full rudder, 1/8 up
elevator and 1/8 opposite ailerons to hold the maneuver. This
maneuver is a bit of a juggling act and needs care and practice to
get it right, but because of it's nature, it can be used to climb,
descend or hold stationary making it quite useful in a sequence. The
exit can be fun, one version of it consists of adding power and
elevator very gently, this will cause the nose of the plane to rise
but you will still be holding altitude. Once the plane is past 70
degrees vertical, you can transition the spin to a roll entering a
torque roll. |
