my story

[dannyodibble]

Had my Third flying lesson controls effects had to stand on one wing got neausea but got past it scary but i guess thats sompin ill gett past. i dont think the cream bun 4 b/ fast helped .next time toast only!:csm:

 

 

[fly_tornado]

yu make it sound easy!

 

 

[dannyodibble]

not easy, my instructor recons 2heavy a hand &2big a foot .wont happen next time i betcha!

Welcome Dannyodibble. Everyone learns at their own rate and in their own way. If you have a good instructor, he/she won't let you get into trouble, even if you feel uncomfortable. My instructor tells his students "I'll let you get out of your comfort zone, but I won't let you get out of mine."

 

For airsickness, try to avoid looking straight down and look toward the horizon as often as you can. It's something quite a few people experience, but often it just takes some acclimatisation before you don't experience it further.

Good stuff dannyodibble, don't worry about the instructors they tend to be naturally nervous.

My instructor tells his students "I'll let you get out of your comfort zone, but I won't let you get out of mine."

My instructor's comfort zone involves banking the plane faaar beyond my comfort zone (I'm comfortable to about 50 degrees).

So you haven't done a 90* banked stall yet. I just hate the 'G' forces. Don't try this at low level.

A sustained 90 degree banked turn is not possible maintaining height. There is no vertical component of lift. . Nev

Exactly, that's why I said don't try it at low level. Mind you, it's extreme side slip that causes loss of height. The vertical component is still there, at 90* to the airflow passing over the wing. As long as you're travelling forward, even in a very tight loop(on it's side), there will be lift, just not in the direction to prevent the aircraft being pulled side ways due to gravity.

you could have lift from:

 

- the nose being pointed above the horizon, and thus some of the thrust being lift

 

- lift from any vertical surfaces (ventral fin, tail fin).

 

not that these would give you enough lift.

 

I have an urge to go build an RC plane that can do this now.

You can get lift from the side of the A/c fuselage, but vertually nill with the aircraft we fly and the speeds that we fly. Besides I wouldnt be admitting flying over a 60 degree bank angle on a public forum.(Unless in a aerobatic A/c which is GA registered and the pilot holds a GA rating for aero's). Its asking for trouble.IMO
