Thanks Guys!
Yes, the forhead has been getting a workout on the wall here!!
But I think Pace is an alright guy, unlike that idiot Angels 60.
What he is actuall saying isn't too far from right, he just doesn't quite realise that what he is sugesting as a technique doesn't match up with the pseudo aerodynamics he quotes.
He keeps on banging on about "Reducing AS of A reduces drag", and the clue was he heard it from a fighter pilot. He's talking about
UNLOADING i.e bunting over and flying at less than 1 G. Well, that will sure make you accelerate- in a light twin on 1 at 200' it will accelerate you for the whole 3 seconds to the ground!! When I tried to explain that, at 1 G, min drag is as good as it gets, things got a bit cloudy. Similarly, telling him that if you can't climb at Vyse, you can't maintain height at any other speed didn't sit well because he's convinced you REDUCE drag by accelerating to a faster speed.
As to what he's actually saying, accelerate or even descend to a substainial margin above Vyse, might have merit in some circumstances, though I know I would probably want to at least hold onto the height I had!!
