Tell me that wasn't u doing the 8 point roll? HOW do you do that? I was tearing around in my mates tiger yesterday on a beautiful NZ winter's day as it turns out, and I am still trying to get my slow rolls right nevermind an 8 pointer!

Have you ever done an aerobatic competitions in the Tiger?
Yes, it was me.

You need 120KIAS to start with. Think long and hard about what you need to do with the controls to achieve an 8 point roll - couch fly it - then go up and have a go - DO NOT think about what you need to do with the controls when you're actually doing it - its all about timing - rhythm if you like.

No - it has been suggested - I think I need more practice.
