Hi again John:
Hmmm lets see if I can reassure you that I am not a "brave pilot". The experimentation that I did with the Geroinmo was carried out in a very thoughtful and gradual manner. I had never seen a small twin that had such excellent yaw effectivness ( authority for the recent among us. ) All my very careful exploration of the Geronimo flight envelope was conducted solo, I have been involved in the teaching of advanced flight training since 1959, at that time I qualified for teaching a course that was called high command control. This was later included in our aerial application school, it is a very in depth course on how to fly to, and on the limit of the aircraft flight envelope ...safely..
You will note I never did actually stall the airplane in that power configuration. However you can rest assured that the exploration of the envelope was conducted in smooth air and safe altitude and most imoprtant I was fully confident there was sufficient yaw control to ensure I did not depart controlled flight at any point in my exploration of the Geronimo flight envelope.
I guess I had be more careful of how I type my comments as I do tend to get myself in a bind.
I should be down in your part of the world early next year hopefully we will meet.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
