A spiral or corkscrew as a maneuver allows an escape. You need elevator
deflection, while entering the simple aileron roll, as a rule to cause the
high angle of attack necessary to slow the aircraft and corkscrew breakoff to
the anywhere direction.

Hmmm... Sounds REMOTELY like a high-G barrel roll that can be used ONLY as a
last-ditch maneuver against a close-in gun attack... OTOH, if the bullets
aren't already flying, you haven't escaped ANYTHING -- you've just ****ed away
your energy and allowed the attacker to shoot you when you stop maneuvering
(which you WILL do, else you'll soon hit the ground out of control).

There is nothing about this maneuver, BTW, that favors a canard airplane...


High angle of attack roll rate is critical to either following the target or
breaking off.

So is timing... Again, the maneuver you describe has limited use in ONE
situation.


Matching the target is advised and it is as follows.

"Matching the target"?!? If you are doing anything like that, you ARE the
target!!! If you are NOT the target at the start, you certainly will be at the
end!


1. elevator deflect and roll positive g.
2. As 180 degree roll is passed a person needs to do a single elevator
motion. And if you get it wrong the maneuver turns into a dive.
3. SO push on the elevator to mAKE THE FORWARD CORCKSCREW POSSIBLE.

Now you make it sound like a Lomcevak(sp?) (except you forgot the rudder input),
which is NOT a useful tactical maneuver!


So it is a hard thing to get the hang of and it has negative gs.

A special modification was to aerodynamics. What can be changed. A dive as
arule is always sort of expected. SO a vertical exit from the corkscrew
appear the false exit. A fake exit is possible aerodynamically. A simple
vertical followed by a return to the corkscrew really making it impossible to
follow.

Indeed, a dive is always "expected" after a pilot ****es away all his kinetic
energy...

An attacker would not WANT to follow such a ridiculous maneuver! As pointed out
by another REAL pilot, the attacker only needs to lag up high and keep sight,
and shoot you when you emerge from the folly!


ALWAYS lossing the trailing aircraft.

More like "never" than "ALWAYS"!
