Thanks to a forum member who found a seat chute I could borrow and my new G-meter I'm ready to have a little bit of fun in the new airplane.
I would appreciate suggestions for initial aerobatic test flights and aircraft inspection afterwards?
I would think maneuvers starting with lower G progressing to higher? And again, what to look for in airframe inspection?
I'm not doing anything complicated and do not have inverted oil system. Only 160 HP in the AD2 is not overly capable anyway. Looking for a plan to progressively load test the airframe in a logical way. My personal self imposed limit is +5/-3 and maybe less positive?(Will know after our first loop)
Did more 40 years ago but that was 40 years ago....
In particular to the AD2, what G level might I expect to see for snaps at various airspeeds?
Thanks,
Jack
