Pitts S2B

This is a small preview of a video we are working on. This video was taken by Gil Gauthier and Wayne Edel in a Cessna 172 flown by Harv Penner. Luke Penner is at the controls of Pitts S2B C-FDRY as he completed a Lomcevak.

Flying a Lomcevak will vary in technique from aeroplane to aeroplane and pilot to pilot. This is probably the most common technique described for a clockwise rotating engine.

How is this done? Pitch up to the 45, simultaneously roll to the left with aileron and kick in full left rudder, then shove the stick full forward. The aeroplane should do about two full rotations before running out of energy. Neutralise all controls and the aircraft will recover with the nose down. Fly out of it and correct accordingly. It may be necessary to reduce the power when recovering in certain instances.

This is generally the same technique used for a knife edge spin (up or down).
