You could get a decent snap out of the 8A by breaking the stall ...

I don't recall the Luscomb nor the Taylorcraft being certified for
aerobatics. Did you two fellows have an FAA waiver for aerobatics
in the aircraft in question, or were they registered in the
experimental category?

Get a grip Larry. All aircraft built before 49 are allowed to do
aerobatics. Some cub handbooks has directions on how to do loops.

I routinely did +G maneuvers in my '46 BC12D back in the 60's... I
saw it again recently, still flying and looks good...

Mine's still flying too. Nice thing about wooden spars is if you don't
crack them doing whatever mad maneuver you might try they are just as
strong the next time you fly, unlike a tin airplane..


They were nice airplanes. I'd love to try a clip wing somtime. A much
better contender for a modern aerobatic trainer than the Champ ever
was..
