Agreed. The problem with thinking through the possibilities for
control is that the pilot's assembly error will put the tow pilot at risk immediately. Do you have a right to relearn how to fly your semi-controllable aircraft by putting his or her life in danger? I've seen several no elevator launches, and in each case, the pilot discovered his error when he pitched high behind the towplane. This is a good mental exercise, thinking about how other control surfaces can be used to manage the aircraft, but I wonder just how ethical it is to try to apply them at the cost of someone else's life. I don't have an answer for this one. Just thought I'd throw another variable into the discussion. |
