IMHO they are best described as capable of 'limited areobatics' (+5-2) and their aerobatics are not severe or particularly 'high performance'. However the slower roll rate and low power force one to fly more elegant aerobatics and because the maneuvers are slower they are good training aircraft for slow thinkers like me who need time to notice what is happening. Exactly. What model? KCAB Bertie Speakin' of honesty [LOL], would our bertie care to provide pix of his alledged enterprise? (that's not forged), or is it Top Secret, like the rest of your crap?

When they are done, they plot their next attempt at subtracting from the sum total of human knowledge. |

I hadn't thought of that, but how would you line up with a x-wind for landing... Is it that the undercarts are so strong they really don care that much? Cheers |

I like the brits name for them tho'....flick rolls...pretty much describes it! Exactly. These folks were talking about altitude loss in a spin. I was thinking "Whatever for?" Al G |

It's a six of one, half dozen of the other type of thing. Nothing to do with crossing the controls for a landing. Presumably they do that the same way as anyone else. Bertie |
