Whaddya want all those pockets for anyway?


Indeed. Pockets are empty for acro, otherwise it's
going to end up in the tail, and quite possibly jam
up the elevator. It's happened many times, including
on vertical downlines. Pop quiz: what would you do
in that situation? (hint - trim).

You would be amazed at the long list of stuff that
I have personally fished out of the tails of aerobatic
aircraft: business cards, maps, barf bags, sunglasses,
seat belt loops, pens, AN nuts, washers & machine screws,
etc.

If you must get a flight suit, I might suggest a
hot pink skin-fitting spandex flight suit with a
built-in cup, for safety of course. I will guarantee
you that you will make quite an impression with the
ladies as you swagger across the ramp in such a getup :-)
