Flying suit by
John Harper
Anyone have any suggestions on where to get a proper flying
suit, the one-piece kind with lots of zipper pockets? My
acro instructor gave me a couple of URLs but neither of
them seems to work (flyingsuit.com and

Knowns Unlimited 2006 Glider by
AeroSign
Dear all,
I am trying to understand the "Known Unlimited 2006" glider sequence
from IAC.
First of all, what is the figure number 6? Just a loop with a 90 degree
exit?
Second, how is figure 9 flown? Is it one full roll during the first 90
degree on the 180 degree circle followed by a half roll on...

The first roll ever in a non aerobat 150 by
pittss1c
The subject is obviously a joke.
Before the alarmists continue on about over stressing the plane for the
next pilot, how many unexplained structural failures (or fatigue
failures) do you find in the accident database for 150s? Is this the
first you ever heard of someone doing mild acro in a 150/2?...

Your opinion about helmets? by

helmet when I'm wearing a 'chute. It always seemd kinda silly...
Today I was in the FBO when one of the local ag pilots got his helmet
back after a rebuild job. He rolled an airplane over on it's back
last year after an engine...

Aerobatics and children by
[email protected]
I've got a 6-year old son who's convinced he'll be a Blue Angel when he
grows up.
He's asked a number of times if we could go do aerobatics some time.
I think he's too young for it to be safe, but at what age might it
start to be appropriate? What types of things to I need to take...

Anyone know anywhere in or near the Bay Area that has a Stearman
for rent (not necessarily solo) just on an hourly basis (i.e. no joining
fee plus monthly fee like WVFC)? The place I fly acro out of
(Attitude at Livermore) has this approach to the finances, but despite
occasional threats of getting...

Pitts questions by
Wendy
Hi-
I've a few questions concerning S1 types. The -C I know has an AEIO-320,
with ailerons on the lower wing. The -S, I believe, has an AEIO-360 along
with four ailerons. Must it also have a constant speed prop to be a true
S1S? And how does the -S differ from the -T? Lastly, can anyone...

Accelerated spin questions by
John Harper
Did my first accelerated spins yesterday (in a Grob). Woohoo.
Unfortunately my stomach wasn't wild about them, so I only
did a couple. But I did get to thinking about the aerodynamics
of them (maybe as a way to forget my nausea!), and I had a
couple of questions which I wondered if anyone here can...

Citabria with gyros by
Bob Esser
After long consideration, I have decided on the type of plane to
purchase: A Citabria 7ECA. What led me to this decision was the
following desire. I want to be a part time instructor and I think the
perfect niche for me is roving tailwheel and spin trainer for the flight
schools in my area. I...

Boeing 757 turn rate? by
Garyurbach
Can anybody here tall me what the standard rate of turn is in a 757? Is it the
same as small palnes, i.ei, is it universal at 360 degrees in 2 minutes?
I've got someone telling me the Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon did some
impossible turn before flying into the building, and it sounds like a...

how to cope with negative g´s? by
Markus
Hi,
I wonder what you have to say about how to train myself to better cope
with negative g´s!
The problem I have is, that whenever I do a series of (hard) negative
manouvers (say between -5 and -6.5g) I get headache and my face shows a
zillion of small red spots (bursted veins) which disappear...
