Tied Down
Another Saturday time killer for ya.
Saw earth when I was expecting sky and immediately thought “do not want” ...
Fun, but easier to watch than do I'd wager.
It was very disorienting,
I was spinning my Cessna one day. I messed up an ended up in an inverted spin. Had done a lot of jumps so the whole sky, earth thing was pretty clear. Saw earth when I was expecting sky and immediately thought “do not want” recovered really quickly, same recovery as normal.
I inadvertently stalled at the top of an attempted loop and got into an inverted spin.
I was spinning my Cessna one day. I messed up an ended up in an inverted spin.
Fixed it for you.you were not in an inverted spin.
Fixed it for you.
I messed up an ended up inverted. As soon as I was inverted I neutralized controls and applied opposite rudder. Less than half a rotation.
Hope your happy.
You may be right, I don't know. But the film the OP posted says at the beginning "the best method for entering the inverted spin is from the half loop position," and it is very difficult, almost impossible, to get a Grob 102 glider to enter a normal spin, and the instructor said we'd entered an inverted spin. I am certain my spatial awareness had left the building.Nah, ya didn't. If you stalled on top of a loop, you stalled with the glider under positive G, since you're pulling over the top....unless you were doing an outside loop, which you weren't. I've yet to see a newbie acro pilot/student push the stick so far forward on top of a loop that they transition from positive G to so much negative G that they produce a negative G stall and enter an incipient or actual inverted spin. If you spun out of a loop it was a normal upright spin. That fact that you were inverted when you stalled doesn't mean it was an inverted spin. I see folks misunderstand this a lot. So now ya know!
