There has been a lot of theoretical discussion on this thread, but two
apparently conflicting statements seem to have gone undetected.
1. If there is a cross wind, remember to turn into the wind, because the wind
will then push you back to aid in lining up with the strip.
2. As soon as
or 6.
Go to you tube and get 6 loops of the deck.

1. Applies AFTER the launch failure.
2. Is the technique to apply BEFORE the failure.
I thought it was obvious and there's no conflict.

The difference between theory and practise is often much greater

Amazing!
They do the maths, test on simulators and then back it up with actual
flight tests and you still have doubts.
As for
Does anyone here have a good flight sim or Condor ? How about doing
some turnbacks and getting back to us with the results.
I don't have a flight sim on my PC anymore. All seems tame after
taking out 5 Iranian Mirage 2000's with the gun on the MiG 29 (IR
missiles were too easy) before backing

OK,
Agree Terry.

watched from a safe distance'

Thanks Terry,
Unfortunately however, math or not, the history is that a lot of people who
have attempted this option died in so doing.
To make such a statement, you need to know the of people who have died doing
this manoevure divided by number of times the manoevure is performed.
I am sure

OK, if people want to poo-poo this, please provide a rational and reasoned
explanation why (i.e. use a scientific and objective
I now know why I prefer to fly gliders more than tugs/power. :-)
A very interesting article: note he says sailplane pilots practise at
200 feet: not me!

Don't see much to argue about. They did the math. Although there's
one little thing I'd like to check.
They don't think the optimum is 60 degrees though.
