I love your vids Liz. Super helpful. The new thing of inserting 'humorous' vid clips is really distracting. Not helping the learning process at all. But please keep making your videos - I know it's a work in progress. Thanks.
It depends on the aircraft. That's why the ACS doesn't specify. In a 1998-ish C172S at the 45 point you should be max pitched up at about 9 degree. At the 135 descending point you should be at 7 degrees nose down.
If you used a small model airplane where you show. And tell using model plane of what that looks like because it is not clear when Brian is doing maneuver
... that is the part when it gets fun, flying, actually ... the main (common) mistake is to put too much input, in a too short time. That's also why they are called lazy 8-th's. But, with all the rest you do - it will be alright. Never forget to coordinate the (any) turn a bit, using the rudders. There are also fast lazy 8-th's, but that is a whole another story, that should come: later. We would also recommend low-wing aircraft, to be better for the lessons purpose, but you have what's available on the day :).
Thanks good video. I "chair fly" and really try to conceptualize the maneuvers during the video, and to be honest the silly insert clips are very distracting and detracting. My eyes are drawn to the insert and then my brain pauses from flying to figure out WTF this thing is.
Good video, please get rid off the "comics" inserts, very distracting, we are here to try to improve our skills and the distractions almost make me not wanting to watch your videos again.
