Final Approach
The Blue Angels opposing solo does this maneuver with full fuel from a standing takeoff.
If I replicate this maneuver (hypothetically of course) in something like an Ercoupe (or something suitable, with moderate power In the normal category - no disrespect toward Ercoupe fliers) what would be required?
So, we roll down the runway until reaching flying speed, then remain in ground effect at max power. If we give a hard pull at exactly Va while still accelerating, at what G force will this be? What is the effect on stall performance? How can we calculate the altitude gain before the stall is imminent?
