Dave L - I guess I was impressed when
van told me that the RV-6 had not been tested past 2 spins, and that any more
was uncharted territory. obviously he was CYA having been sued twice now
by ex-employee widows [unfairly in my opinion]. I thought that when my
plane was pointed at the ground swirling around, definitely not flying, that I
was in a spin. I purposely pulled out after a revolution, fearful of doing
say, 6 revs again, which scared the hell out of me when I did it before.
don't tell my wife about it. even though I once worked for
McDonnell-Douglas I can't add "test pilot" after my name [how 'bout
carpenter?] or even "navy pilot". I won't explore the flat or
inverted spin possibilities. I'll admit tho' I'd do it with someone who
know what he was doing. every book I've seen says "don't try this
without professional instruction" which admittedly, I've ignored.
but, yes, I'll hold the camera. let's do it out here over an active
volcano [mt st helens] in the middle of the cascade mtn range!
:-)
probably not really smart, but a whole lot of fun.
that's where we connect!
