Default Six could do it.

Could the six exit the spin in such a precise controllled manner?

A view of the panel during the show would make a nice training video...... Well done.

Default Hans' point

I think Hans' point is that you don't need inverted and C/S to make the airplane perform. Those two items add a great deal of expense and I think Hans and I are on the same page..... the RV-4 is best without all of the fancy electronics and expensive hardware. The idea when we built our airplanes was to have a great airplane that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

just opinion..

I know the pilot. He could make ANY aircraft exit a spin precisely. He is truly that good....

Yes. Stopping a spin on heading is not hard and only takes a little practice in getting a feel for the lead angle and for consistently applying the recovery inputs so that the lead angle stops the spin dead nuts on heading each time. Not hard. Again, just takes a little practice in type. This pilot put on a display a little better than your average occasional mess around RV pilot, that's all. Decent flying. Some things to tighten up, especially the hammerhead. Nice to see. Lots of you could do exactly the same if you had the interest in learning some bare basic fundamentals, and practicing a little bit (less needed than you may think).

I am not saying that trying to learn acro by youtube is a safe and good thing to do ! But it sure would have been interesting to have a voice over ..as each maneuver is done .. explaining what is important .. the speeds .. the aircraft attitude etc... what can go wrong etc... with the usual disclaimer that "do not try this at home as it will kill you" ... I would like to get a better understanding of the handling requirements, and a voice over would do just that ...
