Mini Vomit Comet
Hi,
During my hour building days, a friend and I had lots of fun making a C150 act like a mini Vomit Comet.
i.e. we would put the nose down to about 130 kts, pull up to 45 degrees and then use enough forward pressure to make things float around the cockpit "Apollo 13 The Movie" style.
Because we had zero G conditions in the aircraft, I assumed that both the occupents (us) and the aircraft were experiencing a downwards acceleration of 1g and therefore the aircraft had a load factor of zero. i.e. it was free falling.
I think I have understood correctly but would welcome any comments to the contrary, particularly because of the -1g limit.
Thanks,
FIS.
