Was wondering you opinion on engine heating then. Not sim related, but I remember in school they mentioned pilots 'flying the engine' as much as the aircraft because heating and suddenly cooling it in say aerobatics, or rapid decent really causes some $ overhaul considerations.

Well, we actually throttle back when we are 500 ft AGL and let the engine cool down a bit before starting the aerobatics.
Before and after every maneouver, we check CHT, Oil Pressure, Fuel Flow, alternator, and Oil temp.

If you don't wait too long between maneouvers, the cooling is not very important (provided you don't go too harsh on the gas), but when returning to circuit (the box is some 8 miles away from the field) we do a powered descent, keeping RPM between 1500 and 2000 so the engine doesn't cool down too fast.

Peut-être. La première fois j'ai essayé un vol inversé avec l'instructeur j'ai trouvé que je ne m'étais pas attaché assez fortement

:D:D

It could be. The first time I tried an inverted flight with the instructor I found out that I hadn't tightened the seat belts enough

WTG Daniel,

Aerobatic flying is the most fun you can have with your pants on...

Keep it up buddy! You're off to a great start. Practice practice practice
