I guess a little top rudder is right out, eh?



The secondary error that is most common is in not releasing the back
pressure properly then reapplying it again as the turn is reversed.
All in all, 60 degree banked turn to alternating sides is a wonderful
training tool. These turns teach control pressure blending and
coordination better than any other maneuver I've ever used .
If a pilot can enter alternating 720's and perform the turns AND the
transition through the reversal between them within a 50 foot altitude
error parameter, they KNOW control pressure and can FLY the airplane!

You're on. That will be the drill for Saturday.

I've done a lot of low/slow/steep flying lately on photo missions. Your
drill should help.
