You guys may well be right and i agree ( and bow to his professionalism in this field ) with Verticals " if it aint broke dont fix it " !!
I would still however like to see a proper comparison of the two techniques, as it may be that the pilot doesnt have the room infront and below to pole forwards and dive due to obstacles . Either way it seems that there are two groups of highly experienced pilots who disagree which can only confuse the rest of us mere mortals !! If he is wrong then his theory should be disproved and he should stop touting it around !!!
Thanks Crab ....a decent cast always gets a rise from the old TC Trout !!
