Establish the Bank
By Will • Sep 22nd, 2009 • Category: Flash
Once you establish the bank, relax.
The pressure on the ailerons and rudder
pedals? Neutralize them.
Not all of the lift is available
to overcome weight.
You’ll tend to descend.
It’s a shallow spiral.
Roll out
before the desired heading
or you’ll overshoot.
