FWIW, that won't work with the average Cessna, Maule, or whatever. Just sayin'.

Don't I know it. Tried for 15 hours while I was making the fixed wing transition.

My commercial, second IR, and CFI instructor back in the 70s was an ex-rotor pilot with gobs of time in Hueys in Viet Nam, but only a few hundred hours of fixed wing time. He said that was one of the issues he had transitioning, trying to slow down too much on final for the first few hours. The other issue he still had when he was instructing me occurred when he over-reacted to my sloppy accelerated stall, which tossed us up on one wing. He apologized, said that whenever a helicopter got that far banked, it was too easy to lose control. I promised not to scare him so much again. :) I guess I didn't--we're still friends.
