Great stuff and excellent presentation and videos 👍🏼

Thank you

good job Will, great subject matter.

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Thanks!

[@loveplanes]

What amazing training the one you just gave me. Thanks a lot!

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Your so very welcome!

[@marclassaux]

Great video and great information!

[@BlueCubAdventures]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video - excellent narration and sound quality too. Thanks for doing this. I'm new to flying and have only had one day of spin and upset recovery training so far. One thing that surprised me was when the instructor had me add too much inside rudder on a simulated base to final turning stall, and seeing how fast the inside wing stalled and tucked under. That got the blood pumping!

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Thanks for the compliment on the video. Glad you got a taste of how quickly things can turn south…stick with learning and you’ll be good!

[@nickolaim8712]

Lovely video, gotta keep those skills sharp!

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Thanks! And your right!

Good explanation. UPRT, in Jet aircraft the stalling characteristics are different to light aircraft as on sweep wing jets the wing tips stall first which causes a pitch up, stalling more of the wing = deeper stall so the “Push” is very important and if the nose is high with power on you will need to reduce power initially to help the nose come down

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Thanks!

[@ColinWatters]

Nice video. On modern clean gliders the "pitch is airspeed" thing is very noticeable. On approach you set/trim the elevator for your target airspeed. To change your rate of descent you adjust your air brakes.

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Awesome

Thanks for sharing

[@BlueCubAdventures]

My pleasure

Nice! Well put together video, what happens if you slip and you stall your airplane? I have always heard that wings will just role level but have never got out to try with someone that had experience with it

[@BlueCubAdventures]

If you are at or near stalled and you accelerate one of the wings due to a rudder input (proverse roll, slip, etc.) the outside wing will produce slightly more lift, raising that wing and leading to the rotation of a classic spin. In these turning stalls the outside wing is reaching its critical AOA before the inside wing due the aileron input changing each wings AOA in the roll. That causes the higher AOA wing to drop and rotation will start from the high wing now accelerating forward and starting the rotation.... At least that's how I understand it.. I'm definitely no expert on spins... In answer to your specific question, it would depend on the type of aircraft. In a training aircraft, chances are you might stall straight ahead only because of the built in anti-spin characteristics of that airplane. A Cub, Decathlon, other types do not possess the same aerodynamic safety features.

Cám ơn video chia sẻ của bạn rất hay hữu ích, chúc bạn sức khỏe và hạnh phúc.

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Thank you!

On your right turning stalls, it doesn’t appear that you are coordinated. Your ball is on the inside of the turn suggesting that you need more right rudder. It isn’t surprising that your left wing dropped.

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Thanks for your input!

[@petermang5371]

what plane is ist? The like the modern interior

[@BlueCubAdventures]

It's a Carbon Cub FX2, Thanks for watching!

[@lostgriz]

Great stuff! Are you a CFI? If so, how could I contact you?

[@BlueCubAdventures]

I am CFI. You could head over to twitter and send me a DM @WY7WL

[@lostgriz]

@@BlueCubAdventures I signed up for Twitter and searched your @, but it didn't come up. Is there another way to connect with you?

[@MrFlatpanel]

When you say folks are supprised by the left wing dropping, doesn't that go against conventional teaching. You looked like you were in coordinated level flight in the turn, I would have thought the nose would just have dropped perpendicular to the wings. What am I missing? JR

[@SaintChesty]

Engine torque, and the left wing started out with a higher aoa meaning it stalled first.

[@ColinWatters]

I think it's probably prop wash that causes the left wing to stall first.

i will own a cub

[@BlueCubAdventures]

Yes!
