Hell Mark anyone with a small amount of intelligence could figure
that one out and those that can't should be put on ignore. That said you
would be surprised at how many experienced pilots that know better =
actually
try it. We recently lost a beautiful half scale Spitfire up at Brantford
airport when the pilot tried the exact same stunt. Put her into the corn
field inverted writing the bird off in the process. He walked away after
those viewing the accident lifted the damn thing off him. Now we're not
talking about a rookie here, the old guy in his seventies had more hours
than most of us put together and knew better. He also is one of the few =
guys
around these parts with the stones to take brand new KR's out for test
flights and really wring them out before signing them off for flight. =
Guess
the whole point is that no matter how experienced the pilot we all screw =
up
sometime. Best know the answers before the true test comes.
Personally, I applaud your testing since the more you know your bird
the better you are qualified in the event of a real emergency. Reality =
has a
way of not playing by the rules and there are times we have to do things
that we ordinarily wouldn't dare in order to survive. Be prepared comes =
to
mind here. Any of the old military pilots here can verify that =
statement.
