Default RE: Trainer Knife Edge

Hi Shortymet55
As a trainer your plane is probably a bit nose heavy. If it is less nose heavy it will not go nose down in knife edge. If you feel experienced enough, add a little tail weight. Go very slow. Best to use an instructor. You will have to input and hold some aileron, rudder and elevator to knife edge a trainer. Learning to knife edge a trainer is a very good excersise to improve your flying skills.
