What you describe as a "stall turn" might not be what I understand as a stall turn". Would you mind elaborating on exactly what is occuring re pitch/roll/yaw angles, entry & exit airspeeds etc?
However, presuming we're talking about the same thing, and not a wingover...
The guy I fly with is SUPER safety oriented...
...has experimented with all these menoeuvers himself
Anyone else see this as a contradiction in terms?
How does the S.African regulatory authority define aerobatic manoeuvres ie pitch/roll/yaw amounts + 'g' limits etc? Is that the category that the C172 is certified within in S.A.? I'd be surprised if it is aero. approved. It's not anywhere else that I know of.
Get to a school that teaches you properly. Particularly as you're training to be an instuctor and are then supposed to act as a role model.
In case I ever happen to go for a fly in S.A., can you let me know the school that has been doing this? Just so I can make damned sure I avoid them & their aircraft.
