I've been watching the screenshots forum and have noticed a lot of areobatic challenges going on. So I present you the the ultimate areobatic challenge, the "Torque Roll". This is one of the most difficult areobatic manouvers I have ever witnessed and have actually only seen R/C aircraft (Due to high Power to Weight Ratio) acomplish it.  Here's how it goes. Take the aircraft into a 90 degree vertical climb. Reduce power until Rate of Climb is zero and maintain zero. Adjust yaw and attitude to keep it vertical and slowly roll the aircraft around its Y-Axis while litterally hanging on the prop. Throttle up and take her out.
I've tried this in FS2002 but the aircraft either is too heavy one I loose control.
 

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday.

The only plane in FS2k2 I've found that will do it is the SU-29 available in the props download section. However it took me 4 attempts to get it, but never fear the final touches (the artwork) are being put on my infamous aerobatics tutorial (aren't they Ken?), so you'll learn how to shortly Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
