[@ianisbell500]

152 and 172 also drop the nose the instant you loose power in a Vx or Vy climb. It is a function of prop-wash over the tail. You instantly loose down force on the tail when prop wash ceases. With a CG forward of the center of lift, the nose will drop because the tail has to produce a down force to keep it up. With an aft CG, the tail produces up lift instead. An aft CG is unrecoverable in that scenario, as the nose would pitch up, and the pilot would likely not respond in time. I am an instructor. This lesson is on the house.

[@MegaBarefoot1]

I grew up in my dad's 1946 Taylorcraft. He was a big proponent of stall and spin recovery and we did a ton of mountain flying. As he was teaching me to fly, and just all the time in general, we would often go up a couple thousand feet and just stall and spin for fun. By the time I was 15 I could put the plane into and get out of a power on and off stall, a high wing stall, and spin in both direction. He would just say, okay, spin it 2 complete rotations left or 3 rotations right or can you do 1 1/2 rotations. Just to practice being able to control the spin and take it out right where you wanted it. Loved that plane. He had it for almost 30 years and then sold it to buy the engine for his RV-8. The RV was a kick in the pants but I missed the old T-cart. Your Kitfox and flying remind me so much of him and that plane. He had an engine failure twice and was able to glide out to the airfield. The first time we just rebuilt the C-85. The second time he got and STC and replaced the C-85 with an O-200. That plane was a whole new animal with the 100 HP! I fully appreciate the difference you feel with the new engine. It's an awesome experience.

[@seanlannigan5109]

Almost 30 years ago, my grandfather had recently sold his Aeronca Chief, then got the itch again, and bought a Kitfox, and I, at 15, got to watch him build it from start to finish. He splurged and got a larger motor and put it on floats, so that obviously changed the stall characteristics and overall manoeuvrability slightly, but he still raved about how amazing and easy this plane was to fly. Cancer unfortunately got him shortly after building it, but every time I watch one of your videos I think of him, which puts a smile on my face 😊

[@LetsGoAviate]

Love the technical stuff! I became aware of the "junkers-style" flaperons' unique characteristic shortly after getting our plane (not a Kitfox, but very similar). The other benefit of being able to "lift a stalled wing" - as you said - is it makes those very slow approaches just above stall speed safer, since you can actually use the ailerons to keep the wings level without fear of stalling a wing like on a Supercub for example where you can only use rudder. But I fear it might teach bad habits 😏

[@mrjack8849]

I inadvertently put myself into a spin during my PP training. I was doing solo practice power off stalls in a 172. I had done them several times with my instructor and solo just fine. However one time I didn’t recover and the plane dumped hard left after adding power. Within a second or two, I was nose straight down spinning what felt like an eternity. Two things saved me though…1) always do stall practice higher. I was close to 2500 AGL. And about a week earlier my instructor informally told me “PEAR” for spin recovery. P-Power down or Pull throttle. E-Elevators neutral. A-Ailerons neutral. R-Rudder hard to opposite side of spin. Having seen the Earth spin around a few times directly ahead of me, PEAR came into my head. I immediately pulled the throttle, yoke was straight, and smashed the right rudder pedal. Within a second, the plane stopped spinning and I was able to slowly raise the nose and level out around 2000’ AGL followed by adding power. I had lost close to 500’ within seconds. Scared the sh** out of me, but I was thankful my instructor took some time to explain spins during a lesson. Something I think should definitely be taught during training. Also thankful, the 172 is an easy plane to recover.

[@valkyriesride129]

Spin recovery was one of the first thing I was taught in the 172. Love practicing them. Such an easy recovery. But once again, always around 3000 agl. Yup, lose 500' in the blink of an eye, practicing gets that down.

[@mrjack8849]

@@valkyriesride129 It's not really taught anymore since it isn't tested, at least for PP. I wish I had done it the first time with the instructor in the plane, but I know now I can get myself out if/when it happens again.

[@sandyprice]

I went into a spin in a 172 power on stall also. My instructor yelled "my plane" and it didn't make a full rotation before he recovered. I didn't catch what he did, so I asked him what he did and he indicated "PEAR" as well. Unfortunately they can't teach (us in the U.S.) spins in a 172 as it's not rated as aerobatic. Jason Miller suggests going and finding someone to teach them to you in such a plane. I have not done so, but I am more careful in power-on stalls after that.

[@thatstinsongirl]

@@sandyprice 172s are approved for spins in the utility category. Unfortunately most flying clubs and flight schools prohibit spin instruction in their aircraft even though it can be done safely and legally. It’s hard on gyros but spin training is priceless (and has kept me out of trouble on more than one occasion).

[@davidrush4908]

During my PP training instructor had combined power on stalls with simulated instrumentt at about 4000 agl.I failed to maintain coordination and spun the plane.I recognized what was happening and recovered, but lost about 1500 ft in the process. Instructor sat there with his arms crossed and just said "Nice spin". Lesson learned: Proper coordination is critical, and had this happened during takeoff it would quite likely be fatal.

[@jayski9410]

Trent at the end where you picked up the camera and walked in front of the nose, did you notice what a magnificent silhouette on the ground the Kitfox was casting with it's shadow? You almost achieved the kind of visual drama that the old "film noir" directors used to strive for with their fancy lighting. Only you did it in bright sunlight, in the middle of a desert.

[@aviatortrevor]

"Region of reverse command" I suppose could apply to how using ailerons to stop a spin is counter productive, but traditionally that phrase applies to the "back side of the power/drag curve" where you have to increase power to maintain a slower airspeed.

[@PNH750]

During WW2, the Fairey Aircaft Company, in Great Britain, specialised in building planes where the flaps were set below the wing trailing edge. At the time these were called Youngman Flaps. On some of their aircraft these could be set to act as dive brakes.

[@DanielSDiehl]

[@pi.actual]

"Region of reverse command" has to do with speed and power, there is a speed at which, if you want to go slower, you need to ADD power rather than reduce it. I've never heard it used in the context of stall/spin situations. In regards to stall/spin the emphasis needs to be on ground proximity, when your attention is diverted to objects on the ground and your track across the ground in relation to them. At those times it is very easy to get uncoordinated without realizing it. In addition to the base to final scenario there is also the infamous "moose stall" that has been happening to even seasoned pilots for over 100 years.

[@Zalaniar]

Came here to say this. Region of reverse command really has nothing to do with ailerons at all.

[@alk672]

@@Zalaniar at a deeper level, the region of reverse command exists due to the fact that beyond the critical angle of attack the relationship between AOA and lift becomes inverted. That phenomenon causes both the inverted speed/power relationship (which "region of reverse command" usually refers to) as well as the reverse aileron effect the author is talking about in this video.

[@ronniemackinnon3237]

I too believe this to be a better explanation of reverse command. Not that Trent hasn't done a fine job for us with this production He has and thanks for that. Perhaps u can explain a moose stall? New term to me.

[@srviejo2298]

Use rudder to pick up a dropping wing rather than aileron (which increases angle of attack and exacerbates the stall). Using rudder increases the lift by accelerating the wing tip and decreasing the angle of attack by increasing the relative wind.

[@FinbarSheehy]

@@srviejo2298 Use elevator, not rudder, when a wing drops in slow flight. Nose down, reduce the AOA, to assure normal aileron functioning - because, without intensive and recent training your reflexes will already have rolled in normal aileron to pick up the dropped wing. And, if you use rudder to pick up the wing, while still holding the stick back, you may well just spin the other way - there are lots of examples of it happening, and it can happen fast. "Use rudder" does work, but it's a maneuver that requires training and proficiency to avoid the instinctive application of aileron and to feather the elevator so it doesn't go very wrong.

[@resaca5367]

Hi Trent! I fly gliders and motorgliders but some things apply to all aircraft. I learned about stalls and spins the same way most people do - training up high and straight and level. An accident in my flying club where a member most likely tried to turn back to a field for an outlanding while low and slow ended in an inadvertent stall/spin too low to recover. After the accident we started to train differently, stalling and spinning gliders from 30, 45 and sometimes 60 degrees angle of bank and many of us were absolutely shocked at how especially high performance gliders handled under these conditions. I had one experience were a glider rolled to inverted and started spinning. I lost almost 1000 feet before I recovered - easily twice of what you would loose entering a spin straight and level in the same glider. Other club members experienced secondary stalls as a result of applying standard recovery procedures under these conditions. Long story short: You nailed it when you said that the way stalls are teached does not reflect the situations likely to kill you. It will be misjudging your turn to final resulting in steeper angle of bank combined with pulling and flying uncoordinated, the "impossible turn" or your unexpected engine failure on climb out (e.g. winch launch or tug failure for gliders...). So thank you for explaining this in your video and it would be really great if you kept exploring this in some way or another!

[@alexchasewilliams]

Hey Trent, excellent observations. On the downside of the thrust line/tail plane inclination, going full power during a go-around can cause a significant pitch up, and stall if not caught fast enough. Although I never spun the kitfox, I had one instance where the wing dropped when I tried to pick it up. Could be even more dangerous if your not expecting it, and may only happen at aft cgs (or with the stock wing that stalls before the tail). At the end of the day I think “just fast enough to kill you” is a plea to not become complacent when aircraft are “safe”.
