Default RE: Stall Characteristics of the Bug

ORIGINAL: Pete737

How is the envelope from the point where she starts acting up to a stall? Im just looking for advice during the clean config.

Ooops! I forgot you were looking for the characteristics in the clean configuration. See that,I screwed up again, pilot error.


Well, it's been my experience that the Superhornet will pretty much behave the exact same way in the clean config as well. I almost lost it here in the picture below when I got a bit too slow releasing the centerline drop tank (off to the left in the picture). The jet began to wing rock because the nose was so high, quick push of down elevator just as the jet began to depart to the right with simultaneous application of full throttle (thank you 2.2 seconds from half!) and she was flying again. Still trimmed the weeds on that one.
