Finally did some ACRO in my 7GCBC yesterday... First thing we did after spin recovery were slow rolls... I quickly learned that slow rolls without an inverted fuel system makes the top of the roll a little.... :hairraise: as soon as we rolled out and had gravity working in the right direction again, it was :goofy:
Haha... Good fun though!
 
Glad you're having fun with it. I've heard that the GCBC's flaps will reflex a little under negative G, which makes it settle even more during the inverted portion of a level roll attempt. Engine quitting for a few moments doesn't hurt a thing. Just monitor oil loss if you're doing a lot of it during practice sessions.
