Hammer2, ever try that while pushing the stick? YEEEEHAAAA! There was some debate as to whether that constituted an inverted spin (prohibited) but a quick call to Kirkbymoorside (the factory) confirmed that Lomcevaks were OK so off we went. What fun!
Nice to have a parachute though, and I have to wonder how the aircraft has managed to claim so many. I think most of the fatalities have concerned the lower powered A/B/C and 160hp models which maybe have a more rearward CofG than the M260/T3A. Superb aircraft though, and if I ever come into lots of dosh I shall buy one along with a Spit XIV.
