Default Pulled a Few G's Today. fun!

Today was fun, my club was invited out to a local aeroclub event for rc demo and display, they even had a section cut low for us. As things where winding down I got to talking with a few folks and ended up talking a flight in a Citabria. Haven flown gliders in Germany a few years ago it has been 8 years since iv been up in something smaller then a 737.. Got to do a loop and hammerhead oh how i forgot... Things got a bit interesting when on the down line of the hammerhead the right side cowl hatch poped open and slapped the snot out of the cowl. We made it back no problem but the aerobatics were cut short... After the inspection only the hatches where damaged and not the main cowling... big releaf. So that was a fun day! heres a few pics
mike

ps, my harddrive is giving me fits and not staying on so i will post the inverted pics soon.. sorry

Citabrias are fun airframes. My brother owned one back in the 80's. I Had some fun rides it that one.
