<DIV><FONT size=2>Since the list is pretty quite it just might be a good time
to throw another plane problem that has been hurting my little brain
lately. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A friend has a Focus and flying the Intermediate
pattern. He is doing quite well but a few days ago the plane was put
through some paces that required more outside manuevering than the Int.
schedule. This is when a strange and blatant problem became
evident. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Imagine the plane flying from left to right, str and
level. Push to a one half outside loop or bunt. Plane tracks
perfectly thru two thirds of the half loop then a little prior to being wings
level headed right to left, the planes nose begins to move toward the
flightline by twenty degrees or more. Basically it corkscrews to the
planes right wing during outside loops but only begins its deviation in the
last third or quarter of the half loop. Ideas???</FONT></DIV>
