Post by: Halo on April 04, 2004, 12:57:28 AM: Better re-read Paragraph 51-D of your contract with Aces High Ltd., i.e.:

The Creator shalt not engage in any actual noncyber flying manuevers other than straight and level cruise except for moderate angles of takeoff and landing over soft wide level fields framing a lego runway, with foam impact pits at each end, which always swivels directly into the wind.

Post by: CyranoAH on April 04, 2004, 04:58:40 PM: Hammerheads are serious fun. My only problem with them was to get the pitch right during the whole maneouver so I got a perfect 180 after it.

The most fun I've had in a plane was precisely last saturday. I finally mastered to properly land the Pitts S2B. Just one lesson away (inverted flat spin recoveries) from my solo in the Zlin Z-50!!

How 'bout some pics Hitech? I'd love to see 'em!!! :)

Post by: AKIron on April 04, 2004, 06:51:34 PM: I bet they're fun. Only thing close to aerobatics I've done were spins and wingovers and they were a blast. But how about finishing up AHII before trying anything more risky? :D

Post by: hitech on April 05, 2004, 03:55:44 PM: 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.

Post by: Dago on April 05, 2004, 07:17:45 PM: 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.

Post by: CyranoAH on April 06, 2004, 08:56:16 AM: 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.
