I would be interested in Patty's comments, but my guess is that
looking at the tight corners she pulls that they're at least 7G,
particularly when entered with a lot of energy.



Oh my God. I'm getting a headache just reading this! I suppose it;s
not so bad when you're semi reclined, but still. I've rarely been
over five even in square loops.

You and I BOTH get a headache :-))

I don't think I've ever seen anyone work a routine more aggressively
than Wags. She works out physically constantly to stay in shape and
I know for certain she uses most of the 10g's she has available in
her 300S. I'll tell you this much. I flew acro most of my life and I
never even came close to doing with an airplane what Patty does in
her Extra display routine.
MAN..that woman can fly!!! :-))

Mmm, yes, absolutely. I'm pretty sure tha even at 20 and very fit I
would not have cared for that much punishment. i doubt it ver would
have appealed, but then again, I never did any aerobatics in an
airplane with a semi reclined position though and that should be a
huge help. I still can't see how anyone can do 10 Gs regularly even
for a short time. in any case, that's over a 300% increase in stall
speed! Yipes!

I've pulled high g in the Pitts doing multiple snap entries for
example but those, as well as Patty's, are instantaneous with quick
release. Most I ever pulled sustained was 9 in the F14 doing some ACM
as a "guest" of the Navy and I can tell you that actually hurt! :-)
Typical display in the Mustang was 4 or under.


I rarely did more than four displaying and I found five in the Decathlon
or Lakes was punishing, but of course neither lasted for long because
the speed evaporatd very quickly from those sorts of Gs anyway. I
couldn't hardly take more than three outside and avoided doing much of
that anyway! Got a good excuse to stay away from them with the new
airpane anyway..
