Aerobatics

No problem, Mike. Just wanted to keep the rookies in the clear. I haven't
mastered the "Lumchevak", "Checkoslavak" (or how ever you spell it) myself.
I am getting a little Christian Eagle time. Wouldn't even think of something
like that in a Q. I know only one truly insane test pilot type who HAS done
a tail slide in a Q-200, but it scared him so bad he refuses even minor acro
in a Q now. The thought the good olde FAA considers a 90 degree bank acro!

T,
Of course, you are right.....I was just looking at the Friendly Aviation
Ass'n def of aero. Still trying to figure out how to snap roll a
Q.....KIDDING...cheeze. I would feel bad if sombody thought they could do

one of those unspellable manuvers that starts with an "L".

Terry, I had a partner that used to do hammerheads in an Onan powered Q1,
and all this at low level. On day he almost killed himself doing one, as
opposed to all the other times, and just got back elevator authority in time
to level off at 50 feet. He was finally convinced he didn't need to be doing
any of that anymore. Ted

With a Onan??? Its comments like this that make me realize just how
perfectly, normally boringly, middle of the line sane I am, (when I rem to
take my meds).

Your friend have an idea of his roll rate or breakout force?

Maybe I was being a little generous when I said hammerhead. He said he would
dive it for speed at full throttle and then pull up and kick the rudder with
just enough speed and thrust to get the nose pointing the other direction.
He was very young at the time!
