Click to expand... +6 while testing my RV-6. -1 while hanging from monkey bars. +6 isn't all that easy to achieve in the RV because the speed bleeds fast. I indeed up doing it in about a 120? bank.

S sandifer Well Known Member Nov 21, 2009 #8 Curious what you are doing overstressing a Pitts at 7G? Putting more than 5G on a Pitts is counterproductive anyway due to the drag. It's not the kind of plane you accidentally put too many G's on. Now something like a Giles, though...

Bill Wightman Well Known Member Nov 21, 2009 #9 +9 in an F16, back seat ride with one of the Edwards test pilots I worked with. -5 outside loop in a Stephens Acro. In the RV, +6 and -4 but I tried to limit it to +4 and no negative for the sake of the airframe (working rivets), gyros, and oil on the belly.
