I think it would be quite hard to pull -12 g's...

Yes, I meant negative Gs. It would feel like your eyes are going to explode.

[PiperDriver]

Aerobatics in that?? Its to heavy with the turbine up front. An edge 540 could out run that easy in aerobatics

[Squawk1200]

turbines....heavy?? maybe slower in power response time, but certainly not heavier than piston engines for the same HP, hence why they are mounted further forwards (weight and balance).

[Alfashark]

Do the maths... 750 SHP, 1600lb (roughly 700kg)

Add a nice paddle bladed prop and you have tons more thrust available than any 540... infact, using Beta mode could result in some extended down-lines for even more fun!

[PiperDriver]

Wrong as usual, how typical never get things right.....

[Njbb1995]

don't say that! I get things wrong most of the time aswell

[waka172rg]

in the Trivia Quiz deane asked...... Which aircraft type, of which there are still types flying in NZ, featured an ash tray above the panel ?
Pre-flight checks included emptying the ash tray before aerobatic flight. hence that this a/c is aerobatic
i said.....is it the piper Cherokee 140 deane? haha he said....... I don't think Mr Piper intended his planes to be aerobatic !! haha
