Brief mention here https://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief2.aspx?ev_id=20150828X53921&ntsbno=ERA15FA331&akey=1 and all the details here but my French is very rusty https://www.bea.aero/docspa/2001/f-ux010721/pdf/f-ux010721.pdf

CAP 222, rebadged Giles per https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_G-202 also lost its tail. The Wolf Pro 360 seems like fun.

Yep, 23.2005 of FAR 23 Amendment 64 is a whole new world. The Extra is certified to an earlier version of FAR 23 which specifically has normal, utility and aerobatic categories with associated limitations and requirements. I should’ve referred to the specific amendment of FAR 23 stated in the...

FAR 23. Also refer the POH.

Aerobatics is never permitted in normal category.

I've flown a PL-2 which would be very similar, been a few years ago and I won't try to remember how it handled. I did a couple of straight power-off stalls and a barrel roll. As it slows towards the stall the IAS decreases then increases again due to position of the pitot tube. It has an...

Give Mark a call http://www.aviationservicesdirectory.com/company/afton_flight_services/4815 I'm about to fit an MVP-50P to my Super Decathlon so interested in reviews. (I still part-own a Pitts and regularly fly and instruct in a Husky.)

It was 30 years ago so straining the memory ... I grabbed this from Pprune.com posted 8/3/16: “I think that the ducted fan was used because it was a new and cool idea. I don't have the hours some other people do on the type, but got to do an evaluation on it a few years back and whilst I...

So did I. From Brooklands Aerospace. I did a few hours in the Optica.

I recommend doing the basic aerobatics in a Decathlon before moving on so Jim at Dylan Aviation would be a good place to start.You can't go wrong with Patty's 10 hour course. WingOver Aerobatics is also recommended - my view is (and I said this to Steve) - every Pitts pilot should undergo the...

It has all changed now. Our CASA has always been harder to deal with than your FAA and getting the licence of certificate of validation is the easy part https://www.casa.gov.au/standard-page/converting-overseas-licences The hard part is getting the security card which is required just to...

I guess I’ll be making some phone calls to Annapolis then.

I guess that Wes is no longer around this forum but ... I’ve just had the same problem with our recently-acquired S-2C and a friend said he had the same thing several times with their -C. Not experienced this over many hours in other models of Pitts. Just wondering if anyone has any more info please?

I recognised the airplane - I know Dan but didn't recognise him, perhaps he was smiling more than usual.

Looks like you had some fun there. I don’t recognise anyone in the airplane?
