Know a guy has an S2B and a Giles. He owns both, they both sit in the same hangar, he can fly either one anytime. At the end of the year, the Pitts has 3 times the hours on it as the Giles.

Look at the far end of the runway!

It will climb as good or better but that’s it. CG is crap, not enough control throw, moments too long...not even in the same league. Ones a truck and the other a sports car!

Ok, good for you! There is nothing inherently “safe” about 250/10, it’s just an arbitrary speed for ATC. Throw in winds, TAS, variations in Aircraft, it’s quite a capricious thing, just like Mach number. My dad has some great stories of flying the DC-9 for Delta years ago before the 250/10...

No way a skybolt even comes close to a Pitts or Eagle, sorry! Skybolt is nothing but an old mans pancake getter!

Whoa there sluggo super pilot...it’s a JOKE, geez. Yes doing 260 below 10 would certainly put you in harms way, oh no! Wow gonna be a long month with you.....lighten up Francis!

Ciabria..great trainer, good for a loop and a roll, not sure I’d really think of it as an “aerobatic” plane far as competition, moving to more advanced maneuvers...after flying a Pitts you would be bored to tears in a citaría...but that’s just me, i want a hot rod.

Well heck ATP standards are +- 10 knots so heck I figure you got latitude out to 260...see guys flying around at 240 below 10K wtf? It’s a JET man up and let’s go! Hehe

If I remember correctly it takes > 265 for more than 7 seconds to trigger fdap...and then they only sample at something like 10%. Standing by to be corrected by super type A airline pilot....

Us SWA guys call it “Texas 250” hehe
