Wow. You can do an Immelman in under 500'? Impressive!


How about a baby hammerhead turn, with a half roll coming out of it? g

Presuming that no one is immediately on top of you, somethng akin to a
duster turn works quite well and only uses about 50 feet to make a really
dramatic difference in the turn radius. I used to do that to turn around a
Tomohawk (PA-38) in a small radius.
