Behind the power curve is something that the modern gyro doesnt suffer anywhere near as much as the old gyros that had direct drive props or engines of lower power /small rotors etc but it is possible to get a lightweight[ high power to weight ] in that situation. My first gyro taught me pretty quick what behind the power curve was all about as it flew just outside the curve most of the time so when I got my 2.2 suby I found life was so much easier but even with 100 odd horse, a 76 inch prop and a gearbox, you can still get caught in the right conditions. Fortunately, I have been able to use expereince to get myself out of a pickle but for the low time pilot, watch out !!Its easy to practice, just get down on the deck with the wind blowing pretty well, slow your gyro down a bit, then turn downwind, make sure there are no obbstacles.....NO NO NO, dont try that at ground level, get up to a decent height and do the same thing, watch the altimeter so that you dont cheat, keep the gyro from sinking further by increasing power, note the nose up attitude /low indicated airspeed, lower the nose without descending and get the airspeed up, see how easy it is

despite the 914 "s power, it just mushed along Bloodyell, even the fat wasa will climb at that AS.Bet they are like the magni, with a pissy little fan on the back. :

C"mon Bones, if you get all the things you wanna do and combine them with all the things you already do well...then life is good and only gets better.
