I understand the KISS principle of keeping it simple, but it is, I think, part of the standard recovery procedure for increasing airspeed / descending altitude situation.
And, Ercoupes do pick up speed quickly in a descent. You want to avoid overstressing the wings (on sixty year old aircraft) if possible. You are right on though about the futility of adding power going straight up / better to push the nose over as soon as you recognize what is happening:-) Roy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of robertbartunek Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 5:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Re: Turn coordinator Importance: Low Just trying to keep it simple. I don't think you will boomer the mach going straight down in an Ercoupe power on or power off. Same thing if going straight up. Adding power won't do a lot for you. Bart
