Default RE: Lateral balance of profiles - your method for checking?


ORIGINAL: STLPilot

You fly straight down at idle, pull up and watch which way the plane turns
This sounds like a parachute, only you do it at higher speeds and pull hard at the same time chopping throttle to reduce prop wash and torque.
Yes the entry is very similar to a parachute. But the one I was talking about is actually not a stalled maneuver, you pull up gradually and see which wing tip drops. The parachute is a stalled manuever. But they are very similar and both accomplish the same thing, the parachute being a little more violent.
