The Mythic Flipturn of Antioch

Verse Four
"Useth thou thy WEP to climbest to untold heights. Thou shouldst use thy "little +" in thy attitude ladder to determine thy "straight up" direction. Much rudder wilst thou requireth, and yea, verrily even a modicum of skill, if thou wouldst master the vile flip-turn. Fear not, o dweebs, thy Lightning rudder shalt functioneth even at zero airspeed, for thy Godsteed is anointeth with yon holy "blown flight surfaces" and becometh a whirling dervish below stall speed, yet will it not plummeteth, neither shall it departeth from controlled flight."

WTF!
:huh

Bad flight model allows a hammerhead turn at 0 airspeed. It's from an older game.

Funny how it works in a Pitts, in real life... hell, even in a crappy wrag of a Cessna.  Those only have one rudder, the 38 has two.
