This is way down the road, but I just noted someone's comment that if you use a prop extension, you're unable to do acro? Really?
I read alot of posts that involve prop extensions for looks or cowl fits or CG issues, I guess I'm skeptical that all these builders are going to forgo acro forever.
In this context, what exactly is acro? It can't be the FAA's bank angle restriction. I understand that at some point in extending the prop shaft to foolish lengths, you'd run into problems with instability or gyroscopic issues with sudden G-onset, or sustained high G loads.
Anyone have the real skinny on what is going on here and what the threat is?
