There is a log entry that claims a world record 80 turns in a spin, ten loops in 60 seconds and a collision with a Camero. I have photograph of the collision. Don't know how she got it back on the ground without doing more damage than shows on the airframe. But she's good as new now and enjoying a life of leisure as an LSA.
I have many photographs that Grace gave to me during a series of airshows in South Africa in the late 70's. I will try post them on my return to South Africa in March. (I am currently on contract in Abeche, Chad)
