(Reading Alan Cassidy's Better Aerobatics the other day, I discovered that the competition turn was not what I thought it was. Coordinated turn? No. Points off. Bad pilot. You establish bank whilst staying on your entry heading, then do the turn.)
I had a try today in an R2160. Right aileron, balance with left boot. Nimble though the Robin is by spamcan standards, it does become the flying anvil in certain aerobatic maneouvres (inverted, it's either two handed, or better still, use a spare foot on the stick
Full straining left rudder I think I managed about 40 degrees bank tops, any more it was going to turn. Tried a few more times using a bit more forward stick to arrest the turning tendancy, but only did marginally better.
So, anyone got any tips for low powered aeros mounts? Is there anyway of holding 60 degrees bank? Or is it just a given that you'll never really get there and so beyond, say, 45, you accept the inevitable and make the turn?
