Has anyone here ever rolled an airplane???

Wondering if anyone has ever rolled an airplane in the "normal" category? How hard is it? What are the dangers???

I'd be afraid of the engine stopping, due to the fuel sloshing around. I wouldn't try it. That's why I'm dreaming of an Extra 300LP.

No one has ever rolled any Learjet models in their lives. Right?

Yeah but did you see that Bob Hoover video? When he's completely inverted, the tea in his glass just stays put. Must be constantly pulling 1G throughout the entire maneuver???

^True. I guess if you know what you're doing. I don't

That hoover video is strange. Do you think he's "pulling back" when inverted, to force the liquid to stay where it is???

Not me.

If you you do it right, you can roll anything.
