One thing that I forgot to mention - the nose raised about 10 degrees, to the term "shoot skyward" may be a little too dramatic. It seemed like a lot at the time, though. When I tapped the elevator, I did it with my fingertips so it didn't take much force -- but I wouldn't have been surprised to see the airplane get really close to stall speed. -Luke -- Luke Scharf, Jack of Several Trades http://www.ccm.ece.vt.edu/~lscharf _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
