 |  Air starts?
Just curious if anyone has successfully pulled off an airstart. I heard about it before but did not know if it was possible so I was enjoying the nice weather today flying and got a little bored. Me and another guy at the field got talking about how some have tried to do an airstart. I decided to try it with my 50cc extra and could not get it to work. I took it up as high as I could see it and killed it, and put it into a dive for 5 or 6 seconds but the prop only turned a few flips. I tried it three times but it would not work. I was just curious if anyone had any luck trying this.

He also did it the year before and blew his wing apart on the Super Xtra. To make it work, you have to have a very well broken in motor and when you are pulling out of the dive, you should roll the plane opposite of the prop. If you put too many Gs on the plane...well...I think there are some pics of Yuri's Super Xtra floating out there somewhere.
