Hello All. I'm new and just registered. The problem after passing the top of the loop is gaining to much speed and nearing the speed of sound. The condition, once know as "compressibility" caused severe buffeting, loss of control, and could cause the stick to beat your legs black and blue. It was a serious condition avoid in the P-47 Thunderbolt, among other aircraft.
