  • yeapp. simply you rase the nose to the vertical and right before the speed bleeds of you give it a quite haevy push on rudder, say right rudder. Then the outboerd wing - the left wing- moves faster and you have to compansate with left airleron... yes, the 0 G!!! I usually tell passangers that this is the cheapest way to experience a space flight. First blast of -pull up 3 G- then the "orbit" the 0 G, and the "reenntry"... I love it and you can do with any basically in any plane.

  • ...hmmm, hammerhead as stallturn? Why not?

    But the hammerhead has it's specifics as 90 degree angel to ground, and 0 G for quite a time... stall can be provoked at any angel in any speed, while the hammerhead gives this moment of stillness when speed drops to zero... deffinitly on of many "Canyon-turns" or emergency 180 degree turns. G

  • A hammer-head is a stall turn without the rotation to the left / right it is a straight up motion where the aerofoil then stalls, and drops staright backwards causing the aeroplane to flicks forward violently, causing the occupants to experiance 0g for a sustained period of time.

  • super:)

  • Isn`the "hammerhead to the right/left" the sam as a stallturn ???
