Well welll! Mr Clowns here in the private forum. Well, I bid good day to you sir despite some previous skirmishes elsewhere.

I've been mucking around with some sideslips, but not in the usual sense. Basically messrs. Cassidy* has advised in his great book that the right way to enter a comp. turn is to rotate longitudanly(?) then put the turn in, i.e. roll (no yaw please) then bank.

Can I just say this is an arse to do in a low powered mount. I can get the Robin over to, maybe, 30 degrees with full opposite boot before it's going to turn whether you like it or not.

Is the 'correct' comp technique assuming Pitts or better or am I doing something wrong? Stik? Anyone?

* Much respect.
