Default spins from coordinated flight

In your knife edge demonstration you could measure this if you rotated the
ball inclinometer 90 degrees.
I *believe* it would show you were in coordinated flight.


Didn't even have a ball indication in that airplane. You don't use them
in aerobatics. Even for primary instruction, it's best to get the
student's head outside the cockpit and away from the ball as soon as
possible and concentrated on nose attitude where it belongs.
Personally, I feel the ball is the least necessary instrument on the
entire panel :-)

Your right, a string taped to the canopy is much better. Hah!

Actually, the horizon line is the best yaw indicator on the planet. In
lieu of that, a wingtip in a vertical climb, or the sight picture
directly over the nose in a vertical dive.
