Bearmech,
Yea, that was always fun!!! I can hear the instructor now, now when you feel the full weight of the banner, and the stall horn is screaming in your ear, push the nose over hard and get the airspeed back. But be careful not to let the banner touch the ground again and don't dive into it yourself. By now you should still be at full power and going about 80 knots. Keep full power on until you drop the banner!!!!! I learned to hate people with long names!
