Having great fun teaching myself Aerobatics in my RAF Bulldog. This clip is taken from a full-length video of this flight. Plenty of other fails included....
Took some comments from viewers and tried to keep the power on at the top of the stall, to maintain rudder/elevator authority, and also kept slightly positive of the vertical. Seemed to help, thanks! czcams.com/video/dnUzcOHIwEc/video.html
Sir, I’ve seen several of your videos and with all respect, to me it looks like you don’t really know what you are doing. You have had lessons you say here, but cutting power for a stall turn is exactly not the right thing to do. Doing a half loop with too little speed, trying to hold inverted flight at a something like 45 degree noise up angle in another video, also proves to me your training is clearly insufficient. Flying aerobatics is great fun and I really encourage people to do so, but please find a proper aerobatic instructor and don’t experiment while learning the basics.
Thanks for the comment. I am showing the first attempts (since these are the most interesting and get more views), and back then I did indeed lack some parts. I no longer cut power ST's and am now working on trying to slice the horizon in the same place. Safety is relative when learning something in an aircraft towards the edges of control/capability/pilot-ability.....but I am taking precautions to stay safe and not overstress the aircraft. Thanks again.
Good grief ...
120 kts entry speed is recommended
