[...] Personally, I think the key to flying the
lazy-8 is to ensure that your pitching and banking moments are out of sync
with one another. I think too many CFIs teach them to be in sync which is
wrong.


I wouldn't be surprised if there's a different way to teach the maneuver for
every CFI that's out there.

However, the CFI that had the most success (out of two) teaching me the lazy
eight was the one who showed me that you pretty much only have to use
aileron right at the beginning of the maneuver. A little bit of roll input,
and then just a nice slow increase in back pressure (with ailerons neutral),
causes just the right amount of increase in bank angle throughout the first
half of the maneuver.

I'm not sure what "out of sync with each other" means (or "in sync" for that
matter), and maybe it just means the same as what I have found to work well.
Can you elaborate on your terminology?

Pete
