Phil 9 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Can you please explain to me what a wing over is. Is it the same as a stall turn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Lomax Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 during a stall turn the plane should pivot around the CG. A wing over happens when too much speed is carried through a stall turn meaning that the plane does not actuarlly 'stall' and flies through the manouver Edited By Adam Lomax on 08/06/2010 20:15:35Edited By Adam Lomax on 08/06/2010 20:16:45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Beaumont Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Immelman turn ? Going back to control-line days ( anyone remember a "wing over " ?) Apart from Ken of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Fisher Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 From memories of my early C/L days, a wingover was an attempt at a loop which didn't really make it... Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Control-line wingover? Yes, I guess that was the very first aerobatic manoeuvre I ever flew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 9 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I did see that Bert but I still could not see the difference between that and a stall turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 PB The difference is that you keep the power on and don't stall. Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm That was blatantly invented by someone who wasn't quite as good as everyone else, and wanted to look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
