ACROBATIC FLIGHT
The plane is designed for unlimited acrobatics (wing tank must be empty). Inverted flight
maneuvers are limited to max 4 minutes.
The structure is designed for full aileron control input up to 185 KIAS (343 km/h) in combination
with 2/3 of the applicable max. load factor.
Recommended basic maneuver entry speeds are listed in the following list.
N O T E
This airplane is capable up to 10g maneuvers. If acrobatic maneuvers will be
performed with a co-pilot or passenger, the pilot should ensure that the co-pilot/
passenger has been properly briefed on the physiological effects of high g
maneuvers. This briefing should include accepted muscles straining and breathing
techniques to counter the physiological effects of high g maneuvers. During the
flight, the pilot should ensure the co-pilot/passenger is doing OK.
Check weight and C/G!
CAUTION
Particular caution must be exercised when performing maneuvers at speeds above
V
A
[154 KIAS (285 km/h)]. Large or abrupt rudder and elevator control inputs above this
speed as well as full aileron control inputs above 185 KIAS (343 km/h) may impose
unacceptably high loads which exceed the structural capability of the aircraft.
N O T E
For acrobatic maneuvers see Section 4. All maneuvers can be performed in upright and
inverted flight attitude.
