<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE> <P>I think I've got the 1 1/4 spin down good enough. Thanks for all the tips.</P> <P>The other thing I'm having trouble with is the 2 point roll at very slow airspeeds. I can roll OK at 120, and even at 100, but when I try to roll at 80mph it gets ugly. A few things I'm running into:</P> <P>1. I seem to routinely push neg 2Gs to get my nose up into correct inverted pitch attitude (I'm flying a Decathlon, which has a semi-symmetrical airfoil, and needs to be fairly nose high to for level inverted flight path). I shouldn't have to push much more than 1G, should I?</P> <P>2. Sometimes when I am approaching 1/4 around the roll, in knife edge flight, and I apply heavy top rudder, the roll rate seems to slow or almost stop for a moment.</P> <P>3. I'm still gaining about 20 to 30 mph on the half roll at the beginning of the Split S, leading to some excess speed on the bottom. I try to pitch the nose up a bit to start the roll, but that seems to make problem #2 worse.</P> <P>4. I'm coming off heading sometimes. I think I know the cause of this one. I'm starting my push too soon, or holding it too long, as I come around inverted.</P> <P>Any and all tips appreciated. Sorry if I'm boring you experienced flyers. I don't have access to a coach at the present time.</P> <P>On the plus side, I did the Sportsman known at box alt today for the first time, and bottomed out at 1800 AGL both times. That made me pretty happy.</P></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2740??PS=47575" target="_top">Don’t just search. Find. Check out the new MSN Search!</a> </html>
