Sorry. I didn't realize that the bank angle of an aerobatic turn had to be between 60 and 90 deg. That said, I see now that top rudder will have to be applied to maintain altitude. Is this maneuver typically done at a 90 deg bank?
Not always true.
If you only bank about 70 and maintain a good speed you will not need rudder. Of course this will depend on your plane. Find what is comfortable with your particular model
True enough... but it makes sense to me to use rudder now because you aren't going to have the option as you progress.. Kind of reminds me of the guys who tell me they can do rolling harriers that look decent without the rudder. That's fine and all.. but you can see the difference and when you slow it down and start changing directions without barrow rolling you are going to have to learn the rudder part
ps nice work bill!
sure you heard or maybe saw the pics... but 3W dead sticked out of no where in a high alpha slow and low KE.. did a fair amount of damage to my Extra... looks like I will have a new IMAC plane for next year and maybe rebuild the Extra for a 3D beater.
