Inverted Flat Spin Rush!

October 27th, 2006 Submitted by: Adrian

I tried flat spinning my Harmon Rocket the other day and boy what a rush it was…. Perhaps I was enjoying the inverted spin so much that I forgot what altitude I was at. By the time I was willing to let go of the sticks to recover from the spin, I found out that it was a little too low for comfort. Luckily I managed to get my orientation right after a while and pulled the plane out of the dive.

I think I’m going to be attempting some snap rolls on the next flight… but I’m still worried that the horizontal stabiliser might break off. I haven’t braced it yet as advised by other sites out there and my continuous checking on the surface shows that its still as sturdy as ever. I wonder how much abuse I can actually throw at it before it breaks off. High speed passes have shown that the tail holds on pretty firmly. I haven’t tried a high speed vertival diving positive or negative full pull up yet. If it survives a dozen of those, I’m sure it’ll survive any snap rolls I throw at it….
