Line Up and Wait
I was following the IAC nationals (congrats to Rob Holland!) this week and was looking at the Unlimited Unknown thinking some of these attempted figures would be pretty entertaining in my Pitts S-1S...it ain't got near enough roll rate and juice to fly Unlimited these days. This is a video of Figure 1. I pretty much knew how it was gonna go...zero airspeed snaps don't work too well. I pulled from Vne and did the rolls as fast as I could with virtually no lines before or after. Airspeed indicated zero as I pushed over. I figure it's only a matter of time until I become a complete monoplane sellout.
