Default Trying Lazy 8 Question Again


"Dick" wrote in message news:P3zfi.818$RZ1.511@trnddc05...
Let's forget anything I said about the Unusual Attitudes Course and Modified Wing Overs, etc and just address doing a
smooth Lazy 8 for my wife's benefit.

My procedure for the Lazy 8: entry at 15/15* P&B, then up to 30/30* P&B at 90* to entry and down to 5-10 mph over
stall using proper rudder control and centered ball.

Unfortunately after I look left over the wing to line up with the entry point and initiate first pitch/bank, I'm then
at the 90* point and still too fast with apex not yet reached.....I'm trying to describe the apex being at maybe 135
degrees and too tight (ie: close) on the initial zero degree line...

Where am I going wrong?



No requirement to have airspeed 5-10 over stall speed...

Did you look at the video link I posted?
