NIce info. I flew some gliders years ago with a friend and dont know much but you know your stuff.Pretty much everytime i crashed i noticed i always panicked but it really came down to the fundamentals you outline here.Only the panic caused me to forget those fundamentals when i should have been calm and paying attention. LOL It was like my brain was saying oh know what do i do now then ofcourse id way overcorrect(or overcontrol the plane) in the totally wrong direction(dive bomb into the ground). I am thinking of getting into planes alittle with a trainer(when i have the cash).Either way i will be consulting your post, Thank you! for your time. Currently learning to fly helis and thinking about it most if not all of this can be applied to helis.
