Doubt it... I would think only the pilot can do that....

While I'm only still building my VPP system and haven't flown it yet...
I would think that VPP could get a pilot in a sticky situation quicker than without it.....

others will chime in I sure

It only complicates things.You should always be ready to kill the throttle before an impact and the vpp is set-up like a heli so on a plane the brain has a hard time finding switches.The vpp is awsome though but no control in negative pitch.

there is control in negative pitch... not very much if you have no airspeed, but so long as the plane is moving some, you have control, just really really wierd controls...

I know many crashes start and end with a nose dive and many ppl have a reaction to pull the throttle to idle.

I f one looses orientation i would think on a vpp system would slowthe plane down and help a person regain control because of the time delay.

Might work for some maybe

Anyone ?
