    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm 52 now, not as aggressive flying as I used to be. My 200HP Skybolt is fully aerobatic, regretfully I'm not.
Just wondering what kind of G's some of you are pulling entering/exiting loops.I imagine an egg shaped loop is easier at first, and higher G coming with a more symetrical loop? I'd like toease myself into the G thing.
How do some of you get used to it, G tolerance? How do you increase your tolerance? This has always been a big fear/comfort obstacle for me. I had taught myself aileron rolls in my early 20's and really would like to get up the nerve to do some basic acro again. Built up a fear block in my head.
I know that the quick answer is to get some training, but even that is daunting. I'd just like to hear some thoughts and impressions.
