Hi mjd3,

Thanks for the clarification. I am not a full scale pilot, so I defer to your knowledge.

I grew up in a family of pilots. One of them is a very experienced, old-school, stick and rudder guy (with about 8,000+ hours of time instructing in everything from Stearmen to King Airs) taught me the above technique as something universal. Another of them - who it happens, was taught by the first - was a very experienced (35,000+ hours, mostly in commercial airliners), made sure that I understood the ramifications of losing an engine, on both single and multi engine planes.

As it turns out, I never pursued full scale flying (too busy with work), so I am not the one to listen to for full-scale flying advice. I have found that everything that they taught me applies amazingly well to R/C, though
