Re: Thanks
I had to sell it a few years ago because i had 2 neck surgeries and cant fly anymore, i hated to do it. it was like having a ferrarri in the garage. but like anything they go to shit if they're not used.MCK wrote:Ok now I think I officially am the color of envy...

Re: Thanks
The Esss One is my favorite. I have a few hours of aerobatics logged. That thing looks to be pretty nimble. Wow!

Re: Thanks
ACM program in Marchettis dog fighting Navy pilots. I don't like tandem though. My pilot instructor from the first couple runs said I wasn't afraid enough. 
There is no excitement even sort of like it.

						Re: Thanks
reminds of once a friend of mine had a similar airplane to mine so we climbed up to some altitude and started dog fight bop, bop, bop on the radio. sure is fun. only time i ever blacked out i was in a sustained 6 g pull and the light went out.  
  so what happens? you let go of the stick g's die off and you come back to life couple seconds later.........to the sound of getting my ass shot off.  
  what a blast. When i got back to the airport some people had called all worried, they said there was 2 airplanes trying to kill each other.

Re: Thanks
I am not a pilot, but I grew up with this guy and his family.  They were all kinda crazy, but Mike was particularly.

He pulled 9.6G in a Red Bull race. You pass out there and I don't think you wake up.

Re: Thanks
9 g' pos. and neg are common in competition aerobatics but you only pull that for second while your squaring a corner in a pull or push from vertical. I had started on top rolled inverted and on an oblique angle so i cut could cut to his inside. I held that 6 'g all the way around till i was past vertical again thats a long time. Google John Klatt, Mike Wiscuss I rebuilt his S 1-11B and painted it. I gave John some of his first tailwheel time. Any way its all in fun i do miss it.

Re: Thanks
Absolutely. Some of the coolest surplus vintage aviation controls and knobs would work very nicely.
Start with a WWI era amp though. Spruce with doped fabric. Move into the 20s-30s with the sleek cup planes. Pontoons and extreme profiles all around..
Don't forget the zeppelins.. 100w amp in a bag full of hydrogen.. wait, don't do that.. "My Hinden amp build went great and it all checked out until I put it in the bag and now it won't pass signal. It just hums. Oh the hummanity.".
