Once you get over the initial concept that you're intentionally trying to do what you've always been taught you're never supposed to do, you quickly discover that (at least in an Arrow), it's almost impossible to get the damn thing to actually stall like that. Full rudder, full opposite ailerion, idle power, and full back elevator. The damn thing just sort of slowly yaws (pro-rudder, as I remember), and mushes like a wounded duck with its nose up the air. Well, except for the one time that I did actually manage to get it to stall. That was a little more exciting. My first indication that something was wrong was when my flight bag went bouncing off the cabin ceiling :-) Do that in a Tcraft or a Cessna 170 and you will be on your back before you can stop your eyeballs on the horizon. It is called a snap- (or flick-) roll. If you do not know how to fly inverted or recover from inverted spins, you don't want to explore the possibility. |
