Awesome.

Done aeros in Citabria ZK-CIT (see flight pics and vids here) and Pitts Special ZK-MAD (see flight pics and vids here).

I've also done some steep banking turns (50 degree plus) in a Piper Cherokee and Dakota DC3

Airtourer, CT4E airtrainer for pure Aeros, Strikemaster low level steep turns and High G's. Also been hooning in the C130 and P3. Have been in the cockpit of P3 when we did a wing over to 100 degrees !!

Love aeros, although spinning not that much fun !

Yip, aeros fan here as well, just love it I can think of Tiger Moth, Harvard, Gliders, Nanchangs, Yak 52s, Aritrainers, Airtourers, P-51, P40, and some time with Tom Middleton in a Pitts.
Best move of all was a vertical roll in the P-51, just awesome.

Strikemaster wuld have been a great ride I am sure

by **victor_alpha_charlie** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:31 pm

None (Unless you count max-rate turns in a F406! :lol:

), but I really want to try some.

wow I'm jealous - one thing I have never experienced is proper Aeros.

by **SENECA08** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 8:54 am

Well i have been in a Harvard, L-39 Albatros and a Pitts Special.

I have flown a Pitts special and a extra 300L

Did most that when i went on holiday.

Just the one 'bread roll' in a C-152 aerobat so far... but it was enough to make me determined to get my aerobatics rating

Only problem is the aerobat is currently getting a new donk... they found metal shavings in the oil filter during the last check! :ph43r:

and once it comes back, there will be no aeros till the new engine is bedded in (50hours)

You lucky, lucky person

45 mins to 10,000 after the jumpers only a few short minutes before parking up , my first experience , one heck of ride only hanging and sitting on the wingbox! , the other nice sedate aerobatic ride in the Boeing Stearman .

by **h290master** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:59 pm

Had a nice aerobatic flight in the havard a while back and a few aerobatic stints in the c152

by **Alfashark** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:13 pm

Tiger Moth, Chipmunk, Harvard, C152 Aerobat, T-26 Trojan, Stearman and RV-4 for powered Aeros...
PZL SZD 50-3 Puchacz, PW-5, SH Janus and ASK-13 for Glider Aeros.
The Puchacz is just crying out to be spanked in terms of aeros, stressed to +10 -6, approved for inverted flight and snap rolls B-)

The Janus isn't really built for serious aeros, but was great for livening up chronically hungover mates by slowing to just above stall speed in +12 flap, then going straight to -7 while crossing the controls... Insane spin entry angles and large pitch oscillations (+45 to -45 degree from vertical while rotating) :wacko:

One day I'm going to pay to fly in the two seat Spitfire !! Then I can say that I've experienced the ultimate in aviation icons.
