So I just bought an RV-8 (had an RV-4 years ago) and got my tailwheel skills back within the ball park, but I've got no G tolerance to speak of... and I used to be good for 3.5 - 4 Gs with little to no effort.
Then I started thinking about it:
* Just turned 64
* Back surgery a year ago
* Abdominal surgery a year before that
I think that the two surgeries clobbered my core / upper body strength. Going back to gym and working with heavy weights is not likely to be permissable, so the most likely alternatives seem to be 2G turns, then 2.5G, etc.
Anybody got any better ideas? Not ready to go to the long wing RVs quite yet...
thanks!
