we see these fancy buzz and breaks at air shows as a bit of a wank by the pilots concerned pretending to be WW2 fighter pilots.
Also a good efficient way to split up a formation and get suitable downwind spacing depending on the timing between aircraft pitching out.

yes, a very high pitch rate, I can provide numbers if you like. Were you going to mention hysteresis?
Pitch rate would be useful to know. Not hysteresis as a consideration.
The flightlab link she's a not work too well .. perhaps you can check ?

"Pitch rate would be useful to know." JT, I have emailed you a couple of references: SAE Paper 700222 Loading Conditions Measured During Aerobatics and an IAC Technical Safety Report from 1987 on the effect of abrupt elevator deflection. Both available online but not easy to find nor free.
"The flightlab link she's a not work too well .. perhaps you can check ?" Works fine for me - goes to a direct download of the pdf but try this link http://www.flightlab.net/Flightlab.n...rse_Notes.html and its #8 on the list of documents.
