aerobatic C172?

wrote: The 172 may be able to stand the G forces, but that is not the only limitation. The carburetor only works when right side up, for example. Is that true? I can understand that the float would run out of gas after a bit but I don't see how the carb itself would care about the G's. In the Aeronca we were able to maintain inverted flight for more than a couple of seconds before the engine would stop. The carb is already on the bottom of the engine and the fuel/air mixture travels up the intake via the massive suction of the intake stroke. -Robert
