Knife Edge Spin
- Start 3 mistakes high, 'cause you'll lose altitude in a hurry.
- From strait and level flight pull nose 20 or 30 degrees up.
- Bank 90 degrees into knife edge. From right to left, say you bank 90 degrees LEFT and hold top rudder to maintain knife edge flight (right rudder).
- Now, quickly and simultaneously, reverse rudder (go full left rudder), full RIGHT aileron and full down elevator.
The inputs are basically those of an outside snap roll, but you "load" the airframe by holding right rudder in knife edge. When you "unload" the airframe by reversing rudder and inputing the outside snap, the results can be dramatic - so stay sharp!
Have fun.
