Scotty McCray flew a Schweizer 2-22 EK for his demonstrations. We appeared at the same shows many many times and I knew him quite well. The 2-22 wasn't exactly the "cleanest" glider in the world by today's standards. Scotty was an absolute master at energy control. His technique for energy management was in my opinion the best I've ever seen done in an unpowered aircraft. I think I watched Scotty perform hundreds of barrel rolls in the 2-22 and never once did I see him dish it out of a roll. Strangely enough, it was the addition of horsepower to his aerobatics that killed him down in Brazil in 73, when the Decathlon he dished out of a low altitude roll. One of the nicest and finest guys I knew in aviation. Dudley Henriques What does "dished out" mean? Matt |
