You know what, you suck if your gonna come on here and tease us about it and not show us any pictures.

Just kiddin, I would love to go up in something like that. All I have in my area is a ride in a Stearman, but I gues an open cockpit with the wind in your face might be preaty cool also.

The Stearman does a great barrel roll, it takes all day to get around. Go for it!

Sleepy, don't feel bad, when I did upset training for the airlines which is a short course on unusual attitudes most guy's did not last 5 minutes. Twisting inverted flight with 4-5 G pull or push usually did them in pretty quickly. They learned real fast not to pull when they loose orientation from level flight. You probably have heard the line: pull back and houses get smaller, pull all the way back and houses get bigger!

we buzzed our local RC field at about 20ft, with a 7G pull up afterwards. 7G's is quite something in itself... have a new found respect for the red bull pilots doing 11.5g's in some of those turns
