OK, the first one should have been the T6 slow roll where he dished out in the end.(orange one in south america?) Looks like he had nothing even beginning the roll and had completely lost the plot by the time he reached even 45 degrees and should have just thrown it away at that point. To me, the KC accident looked like the result of a way too low energy state going through the top gate. He should have had at least 150 indicated inverted on top but it looked like he lost his energy to drag going up the up line by pulling too much g. He was practically dead in the water on top but apparently at fairly high power. This looked like it torqued him in roll pretty good and he lost it coming through the gate. He recovered as the angle of attack narrowed back into the work range but by then he was committed way too nose low and had no radial g available to affect the recovery. The guy in the T6, rolling right, judging from the clip, never made the rudder switch from left to right rudder as he passed through inverted. His held in left rudder became bottom rudder as he passed through inverted then yawed him hard as he reached the second knife edge. Add to this he didn't have enough forward stick in either as he went through inverted. The combination of the two errors caused the nose to come down as he rolled into the 3rd quarter. You just don't do this in a low altitude roll and survive. To me it looked like bad control coordination beginning at inverted and held through impact . The first half of the roll looked good BTW. He just blew it on the second half. His airspeed looked fine for a T6 going into the roll set so energy wasn't the issue here. -- Dudley Henriques |
