Default Getting out of the clouds in a Ventus C

Now I see you did say left, thanks.


not sure about the full aerodynamic affect of roll stability, but I imagine if the wings started to level off the turn rate would increase. This would give more speed to the outboard wing which would tend to drop it back down due to full upward deflection of the aileron on that wing. I did observe pitch stability during this maneuver, with the nose coming up, aircraft slowing down, then nose dropping again, speeding up.

Worth noting that with a 45 second turn rate and an average decent rate of 2200 fpm, I am loosing 1650 feet per turn. It won't take more than 2 turns or so to get me out of the clouds, so there is not a lot of opportunity for the maneuver to decay into something nasty if indeed it is possible.
