[H=2]Level of difficulty[/H]
Medium-Difficult depending on airspeed
[H=1]Entering the Maneuver[/H]
Enter from a moderate speed(definition of moderate depends on plane). Generally half power(not throttle) on a modern 3d plane should be about right.
[H=2]Performing the Maneuver[/H]
Roll to knife edge, add a little bit of "upward" rudder, kick full down elevator, add downward rudder as necessary to keep the plane on pitch while turning, bring back the upward rudder to keep the plane from nosing down.
Varying the throttle may be necessary to maintain altitude and rotational speed.
[H=3]Steering[/H]
Steering must be done with the elevator aileron is usually needed to keep the turns flat and avoiding a sudden flop out.
[H=4]Exiting[/H]
Exiting is done simply releasing the elevator, adding upward rudder, and increasing power when you have reached the desired rotation.
