In an emergency – trying to stretch a glide – or turn back to the field I just left – I’ll put up with a little or a lot of shaking. As we’ve all said before – anything is better than nothing if it helps keep you in the air longer. Even if you have to do the “turn it on – turn it off” routine that Ken did to limp to safety.

 

Still – is there a big performance hit for doing something like this?
