What is your opinion.
Was up in the Acro II today flying inverted and decided to practicea few inverted stalls.
Pulled the power to idle and slowly pushed and slowed down to the stall.
At about 80 mph, the stick force began to have a negative stick force gradient, that is, it seemed that the stick force, to push forward to the stall, dropped of dramatically. Almost like the stick wanted to push forward on its own.
Needless to say, I never went ahead and push to a stall break.
Is this a characteristic of the M-6 airfoil? Are there any Pitts S-1C guys out there with the same airfoil that can back this up?
Also, want to work up to inverted spins with the Acro II. Any experience with them?
Thanks,
Tom
