Also, the maple leaf is what I believe you mean as a falling leaf. This isaccomplished bystalling the wing and using rudder to keep from falling offon a wing. Some aircraft won't do this but some can. It determines howwell your ship is rigged. But you need to be able to hold full aft stickand your rudder must work. So really only your ailerons can be shot off andeven then they must be equally shot off.Chris bobkaCFI----- Original Message -----
