I could not jettison the banner and there was considerable glider and other flying activity below. By messing around with aileron and power, I managed to maintain a shallow bank (still attempting to hold full left rudder with my leg, but no go!) and dove the banner into the ground to break it With the banner free, I was able to return to land but it took me a while to get back into the banner groove; for some reason, my next several attempts were too high. -- Michael Pilla Bell Communications Research 201-981-7290 {ihnp4,allegra,pyuxww}!u1100a!mp
