What it is:
The Blender, or Panic maneuver is a
vertical diving roll that virtually stops its descent as it
instantaneously enters into a flat spin.
|
How to do it:
Start from about 400-500 feet straight and
level, chop throttle and push the nose straight down. As soon
as the plane is diving straight down at low throttle, add
full left aileron. Let it complete 2 or 3 rolls, then quickly
transition the sticks to an inverted snap roll position (left
aileron, right rudder, down elevator) all at the same time.
If you do it right, the airplane will instantly transition
from a left roll to a flat spin in the same direction, and
the descent will all but stop. Add full throttle just after
the spin goes flat making the rotation speed high and helping
stop the vertical descent.

Recovery: Basic-
Simply release rudder and aileron, and hold
just a little down elevator. The plane will stop rotating and
begin to fly out. As it gains airspeed, roll back to upright.
Remember you're in "3D mode," so don't do anything abrupt or
you can stall the airplane. |
