Co Pilot II & Fixed Wing Qs

[minskie]

Ok, I know this is a heli forum but anyone know how the CPII would handle a tip stall on a plane ?

I imagine it would try to counter any stall with aileron just making the situation worse?

Couldn't find any info anywhere else so just putting it out there.

Hi,

The Co-Pilot system cannot prevent a stall from happening. If your aircraft goes into a stall, it is recommended that you turn the Co-Pilot system off, increase aircraft speed and try pulling out just as if the Co-Pilot system was not installed. Once recovered, you can turn the Co-Pilot system back on. From the CPII manual:

Co-Pilot™ II is designed for flight stabilization only. It cannot

navigate the aircraft or prevent a stall. You must control the

aircraft’s flight path.
