Default RE: Pull out of hover = Unlimited Vertical?

That's what I'm talkin' about TailTwister!

I had a Midwest Cap with a DA 50 that I could put on the runway, hold full 3d up and hit the power. It would just rotate and go straight up. (I say Had becasue someone came up to me with a check and said "That should cover the costs" and put it in his van)

So GPSpacewalker I guess what we are saying, is that for 3d, yes you need to be able to pull out of a hover for unlimited power.

But that is not the end all in having power.

Doing the Ulimited IMAC sequence needs either a) more power than above or b) the finese of a TOC pilot. You can do the manuvers without gobs of extra power, but it makes them easier. But now we are way off topic and have to start talking about unloading snaps etc . . .
