There was another post on this same subject maybe 6 months ago. At the time, I decided to go out and practice, first starting with pretend hard decks above the field, and eventually working my way down to actual deck conditions. I got pretty good at them, and my confidence was way up at deck plus 700'. Only trouble was I did them all to the left, ie, forgot to practice them to the right.
But that was 6 months ago. After reading all this, I decided I needed to bone up on the procedure, and this time trying them also to the right. One of the guys here talked about "zooming" to the end of the runway, then using inertia to zoom up to altitude---enough to make your turn and get back. I dunno I didn't have much luck with that. I ran out of airspeed way too quickly for the small amount of altitude I gained. And then, and I really hate to admit this to y'all, but on one to the right, the wing got to low, the beast was shuttering and I darn near bought the farm. Obviously I hit left aileron, which I guess can make the situation worse, and probably stood on left rudder. Probably released a smidgen of back stick too. Anyway, its embarrassing to tell, but I'm here to type it.
Have I got that right? Left aileron, and if no left rudder, would it stall that low right wing quicker?
