I agree that slowing down is desirable, what I am questioning is the
desirability of increasing drag. I would want to add carb heat, throttle
back, raise the nose and AOA to fly at just above Vy. I would want to hold
attitude but not altitude. I have never been there and so this is just IMHO,
I may not be correct and.YMMV.


I have flown through several thunderstorms and have never dropped the gear.
