You ARE a good pilot! Now, I gotta go Stan. May the force be with you.

Never was interested in doing any loops in anything, or even spin an airplane. During my FW days... I learned and occasionally practiced spin recovery. It is not hard in a Cessna (be SURE the aircraft is rated for it)... It is not so easy in other aircraft... and as I have been told... some aircraft are VERY difficult to get out of a spin...  _________________ John Morgan PP-SEL Former member PRA Member PeachState Rotorcraft club Member Sunstate Rotor & Wing Club Owner/builder of The Subinator: Single place Dominator/Subaru EA-81 (currently in full restoration) Soon to offer machine shop services |

Are you meaning a spiral dive? Cessnas tails are too big to spin (flat spin) properly.... spiral dives on the other hand.... fun, fun, fun   _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

And yeah... it is very hard to get a Cessna into a pancake spin (flat). OTOH: Some aircraft (a Beech Bonanza V tail comes to mind)... If you do manage to get it into a nose down spin... you may not get it out without ripping off the tail... which would probably end with the same results as not recovering from the nose down spin. _________________ John Morgan PP-SEL Former member PRA Member PeachState Rotorcraft club Member Sunstate Rotor & Wing Club Owner/builder of The Subinator: Single place Dominator/Subaru EA-81 (currently in full restoration) Soon to offer machine shop services |

You sure as shit can spin a cessna !
I even had a C-172 in an inverted flat spin . If you think I'm full of shit ask Tommy Milton . I have seen Jim loop and role his gyro at airshows many times and it is cool as hell . I would love to see him do it in the SC-II . And its all in the positive G . Jim's silver SC-II is so nice, That thing is beautiful, Sport Copters best work yet . Jim Vanek has been nothing but nice to me and my Son . Jim knows that I will never be able to afford one of his machines but he has taken my Son on many flights in the tandem and even in the SC-II. He takes me flying in the tandem and the SC-II and charges me NOTHING . He has always been polite, professional and very generous with his time . He has given me the opportunity to spend priceless, and life long memorable time with my Son that I otherwise would never have had. And for that I will always be gratefull. I feel he makes the best gyro's out there . I would love to have one and I would be proud to have one .  _________________ Ever notice in life occasionally you'll come across somebody you never should have fucked with ? Well that's me ! |
