Guinness World Record Attempt
 

A good mate of mine is attempting to break the world record for most continuos rolls (408). The attempt is raising money for a charity.

Unfortunately the aircraft that we were going to film from won't be available due maintenance :ugh: does anyone know of a Cessna 182 or 172 certified for door off operations in the Melbourne Geelong Lethbridge area that would be available? As it's a charity we'd love to get mates rates :E

Help if you can :D

The event is on this Saturday morning at 7am

Wow, had to read this twice....first thought you were gonna roll the 182/172 408 times! :eek:

Good luck....

Jeez! 408 rolls! Glutton for punishment! Can't help sorry, but good luck and don't forget the panadol & sickbags! :}

He's done lots of practice & is looking good :ok:

just clean the windows on the -10 :E

Ohh yeah.... you want something slow :}

After doing 408 in one direction, will he be doing 408 in the other direction to unwind? :eek:

:D

It won't be signed off in time :ugh:

HL, he's had a couple of cracks at it, so far so good :E

Thank you, you are guns! Plane arranged :ok:

Too late I see however the Super D that visited Lethbridge recently has the door-off STC.

Can we get some more specific details on where to come watch/donate…?

Captain Garmin,

The attempt will be overhead Lethbridge Airpark at 7am this Saturday. The aerodrome itself is restricted ops at the moment due runway works. I'm not sure that it's possible to fly in, probably contact Gary.

And an extra special plea to possible non-radio aircraft that like overflying CTAF's, would you mind not doing this, there will be a Pitts & chase plane operating.

This is CASA approved event/display. Both pilots are formation rated.

Did I hear right, this didn't end so well? Real shame if true.

He smashed the record, un-official yet to be confirmed, there is a process to be followed. 987 consecutive rolls :ok:

And in a remarkable display of airmanship successfully put the aircraft down in a paddock.

Okay, I'll bite, why?

Probably a bit dizzy.....

I believe the engine gave up short of 1,000 :ouch:

What an amazing feat, he's obviously nuts but congrats anyway:ok::D

I see that after all that the guy had to ask for permission to make an emergency ldg in a paddock,must have been a restricted paddock:E
Gotta luv the media!
I guess his next attempt (if he does that) would be to roll the opposite direction, so he can unwind:E


Wmk2

what a great effort, for a Aussie Pilot:ok:
