Fuel Injection required for mild Aerobatics?

[AcezHi]

Is a fuel Injection engine required for maneuvers such as a 90 degree bank while holding altitude?

I am curious as I am trying to decide exactly what to build.

I don't see myself looping or rolling, but steep banks look like fun.

I am leaning toward a 7, but the 9 is interesting.

Thanks for any insight.

Fuel injection is not needed for most aerobatics.

It might be worthwhile from a fuel/air mixture balance point of view (which can reduce fuel burns), but it is only needed for negative g maneuvers, which also require inverted oil (and pilot!).

No you can do loops and roll with a carb engine, watch my video:

I'm told that an RV fuse doesn't have enough side surface to fly knife edge.
