Aerobatic Maneuvers

[VNugget]

What's up with the tail slide in a c-152 aerobat issue?

The backwards airflow throws all the controls against the stops, and the plane is not designed for that.

So then what? Do the controls fall off?

Maybe.

There are a couple things you never want to hear in an airplane.

One is "Oh S!@T"

Another is a loud "SNAP" or "BANG"

You'll get both.

Now...didn't happen to me but the guy who checked me out in a Pitts. It's one of those stories that makes the hair on your neck stand up and make you make sure if you ever loop a 152 (I have) you aren't 15 knots too slow.

Does anybody know of a website that has instructions for aerobatic maneuvers? Tomorrow morning i'm in an Extra, and would like some ideas.

That is as far from funny as you can get.

It depends.

It depends.

I'll remember that when you fly into a smoking hole.

Hahahahahahaha...I smoke holes, I don't fly into them.

So where's the dude? Is that him or not?

Hey asshole, allow me to quote the Duke, and tell you to go "scrub your nuts with a wirebrush."

R.I.P. Nick, and condolances to his family. I wish you'd go mouth off to them right now, and to see the results.
