B52 Crash Video's

Classically elevator controls speed, throttle controls rate of climb.

Its true around normal flying conditions in full size planes. Less so in models

OK D.H. Whatever you say!

Let's see now! Elevator controls speed (D.H. said so). So in the air I pull up and slow down. Push forward and speed up. Got it!

Now to take off, I need speed! So I should apply full down elevator to get the ball rolling?

That would be the right pedal. Left pedal to shift. Both to stop.

Nope, wrong again. Dr.1 Driver "There's a Hun in the sun!"

Technically speaking, elevator controls pitch. Given a constant throttle setting, positive elevator (UP) will result in less speed and down will result in increased speed.

Under neutral trim, there will be a throttle point where the plane will fly level. Increase throttle and the plane will climb, reduce throttle and the plane will descend.

See, you are ALL right!

LOL, OH Man, that`s a good one rick

Ask any full size pilot.

And read what I wrote. Carefully.

Were you not listening? When most people are going to take off they intend to climb, so they apply throttle.

I was listening to D.H.! Are you suggesting he doesn't know what he's talking about? :)

If you aren't, I am!

I was suggesting that in this case you chose the wrong goal of the pilot who is going to take off. Because of this you then chose the wrong action. Anyway, this is yet another silly argument, which is going nowhere. I'm finished with it.

:-)

Should work ok, you will end up on a trike undercart going faster and faster :)

Anyway, read what I said 'normal flying conditions' Not sitting on a runway.

Take off is optional ----Landing is guaranteed----

and the old one's are the oldest..............................

Wherever you go, there you are!

Bit of a 60's flash back there Paul?

Oh, hey like WOW, man!
