KW interview

[LEXX]

mmm interesting possibility. I'll have to look back at my stuff about this dive thing.

I was wondering what this was...but your interview with Khvalenskii Stanislav Pavlovich had the answer...

— Were your planes checked for Valezhka (An aerodynamic condition that caused a plane to roll to one side at speeds close to M 0,9. O.K.)?

Not in the regiment. But I know that in the 29th IAP in Tunshan, one young pilot had crashed.

Current interview with Minin Alexei Semenovich::

— Were there cases of valezhka?
Valezhka was a serious problem. As I already said, there was a team, which tried to reduce or completely remove some deficiencies. Some problems were solved, but valezhka remained…

— What about reversing of ailerons?
I personally never had it, I don’t even know what is this. Valezhka – that I had and not once. It will turn you in such a way that you don’t know where is your head and were are your feet.

Thanks these great fantastic stuffs.
