Fellas,
Joke or no joke, and as fun as it might be, it is extremely irresponsible and illegal. It's a known fact that beatups close to the ground can allow the angle of attack (especially in a 210 due to laminar wing) to exceed the critical 16deg AoA.
This type of hooligan in an aircraft can be closely related to streetcar drag racers who have absolutlely no respect for themselves or the public.
The fact is that joking about it makes it seem more likely for someone to try it in order for respect. The instructor culture was clearly evident at Moorabbin back in the late 90's where instructors used to take over the student and fly at low level and do tower flypasts etc in Partenavias. These guys are now in Qantas and
VB. Go figure!
What type of example are these guys showing to newbies whom are doing the exact same thing 5 years later out bush. This culture indirectly caused the accident that led to my mates death.
As Scrambler said, you might just get into an aircraft that has been doing aerobatics and find the wings fold up during a turn (these aircraft are getting older).
The 210 is a high performance single and should be treated as such. It can and will turn around and bite you if you don't treat it with respect!
OneBall2Many, it is only cool until you or your aircraft stuff up and then your dead!! The 210 is not even certified for spins so why push the boundaries! There are those that have and there are those that will!! Beatups are for d!ckHe@ds!
