If the 38 is rolled fast enough at any g above 1g, (with the airplane loaded)
you can couple the roll axis with another inertia axis, usually pitch in the
Talon. Its quite a complex issue, and involves both the inertial axis and the
aerodynamic axis of the aircraft.


Ok, I see it's interesting, but I'm still not sure what it means. Is "pitch"
referenced to the earth or to the (rolling) aircraft axis?


I'm betting it is a motion not unlike a child's spinning top, as it slows down
too much, and starts to wobble on it's axis, right before it really wobbles and
falls down. That is when you depart from controlled flight! g

Kinda' right, Dud?
