Didn't suggest "jamming" right pedal. Didn't suggest right pedal in lieu of easy back on cyclic.


Still want to know: Why not right pedal (to about where it goes when I enter auto, I've got a lot of practice at that) as I go easy back on cyclic?


Also, if I was way out of trim right and pushed over, would the machine snap roll left?


Also, I don't buy the CG thing causing the roll. I think center of pressure of drag on body when crabbed to relative air is far below center of thrust from TR and this is what causes roll. For CG to be a factor, there must be acceleration. Not much of that if you push over while slowing at the top of a climb, and yet she'll snap if you do that.
