----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Dear Smart Ass (your words, not mine) See! See! That mean streak pops out even now, every once in a while. Sorry! But, I've been listening to this bunk for a couple of days now. Having learned to fly in mountainous country, I'll say that the maneuver you're describing is only good for flat land, and at least 5,000 ft AGL. Do not, I repeat, do not attempt this feat while flying into a canyon. If you do, there is a good chance we'll be reading about you soon. Many, I repeat, many an aircraft kissed old mother earth while getting boxed into a canyon and the pilot couldn't make the aforementioned maneuver. Practice all you want out in to clear blue sky, but don't ever go into that canyon thinking you've got it licked. I've seen down drafts that would far out pace any amount of climb you could coax out of any Coupe living. You want to fly canyons? Come over the top and fly down the canyon.

This manuever as described is assuming that the airplane IS properly
rigged, Pilot properly checked out in doing so by a CFI, concrete tie downs
removed prior to take-off, BOTH (this is important) wings attached.
The coupe is realistically the BEST airplane to perform this manuever
as long as it is properly rigged. Other than perhaps a glider.Andy~
