I have a question on learning aerobatics so that I will be prepared to do it in my RV-8. Our plane is still a few months away from even getting in the air, I'm just daydreaming.
I was wondering what aircraft would be best to get aerobatics training in that would best prepare me for acro in the RV-8? I have access to an Extra, but its constant speed, our RV is fixed pitch.
How will I get used to the light stick forces that result from 2 up aerobatics other than practicing two up in an RV-8?
How will I fair having a fixed pitch prop? Will I always pull to idle on the down line? I know the RV will gain speed fast, but is acro definitely doable if done correctly?
Yes I know i need training which will most likely answer all these questions, but I am daydreaming at work and wanted to have a prelim discussion. Thanks guys.
