Hi gang,
in regard to this subject....when I was young and before I had soloed in a J-3 I had a world war ll navy pilot for a instructor....he seemed to understand what a teenager might have in mind...we were quite high and he had me do a circle using a house with a big porch as a point to circle around....he said for me to imagine my girl friend standing on the porch in a swimming suit waving at me, he had me do a steep bank and keep bringing the stick back to keep the girl in sight all the time and adding more top rudder to keep from losing altitude, I forgot what we did with the power setting but am sure is was cruise or wide open, I will never forget what happened.....we stalled very abruptly and the plane went over the top and down into a very tight spin...was very impressive......after solo I am sure I buzzed some girl friends house's but never made that mistake....just thought you might find this piece of old history of interest....not sure how a kolb would react...jswan
