Heard that about a pitts, Flying it = great fun/ landing it a new lesson in pucker factor. We have the green machine at our home base (hopped up pitts) watching him land is amazement.

Next manuver to master, avalanche.

HiTech, how did you ever resolve the prop spinner issue with the aerobatic prop?

The flying sounds like fun.  Never flown a plane through a hammerhead, but have been in a glider with a competition pilot who did some.  It was wild.

Did you buy a leather/cloth helmet for your headset? I had to once I started doing some neg G maneouvers. Works wonders against sweat as well.

If you haven't, try AircraftSpruce (http://www.aircraft-spruce.com), they sell one that's 1/6th the price of the official David Clark one and it's just as good.
