Yes it is semi "aerobatic", so you don't have to fear
. The POH describes a number of manoeuvres that it is cleared for in the utility cat, including rolls, spins, stall turns, loops etc...We also don't have any corrosion problems (completely rebuilt in 2005).
I ask because not being an aero's expert (though have done some and will do some more in a proper aeros aeroplane) I would like someone elses opinion on how the aeroplane handles in these aero's. I'd imagine if doing a loop the leading edge slats would pop out and wondered how this would affect the loop. Also is it possible to even loop the thing and keep within the G limitations? The G limits of the Rallye are only 4.5G or 4.75G (haven't got the POH on me here) I think in the utility cat, which is not much, but the POH states not to exceed 3G in any manoeuvre (I guess to give a buffer).....Unlike the 172 the Rallye is very responsive and has a good rate of roll...
Just curious really, I wouldn't do any hardcore aero's in it, but the odd wingover, roll etc....would be nice
