Question

[FlyerN]

Hello, I'm doing some research into stunt flying more than normal aviation and wondered if you could help me out on something.

This link contains a stunt of some sort but I am unsure as to what it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGp646jO ... r_embedded

I know it's one of these six, so if someone could help me out I'd be extremely grateful!

Crossover to inverted spin, Centrifuge reverse roll-out, Lomcevak, Corkscrew twist, knife edge spin up, Twisting hammer in upright accelerated spin.

It looks like rolls (flick rolls?) on the upline then a tailslide to me.

Hello and welcome.

I can't help, but would just like to suggest that the next thread you start has a slightly more helpful title.

Just rolls to the right on the way up (barelled...deliberately?), reversed to left-hand roll as speed decays which becomes a torque roll as the plane starts to descend backwards while still rolling followed by falling out of the torque roll which makes it look like a tail slide (the aircraft is already going backwards).

Question, why?

[Rob L]

Flintstone: Because a thread title like "Aerobatics question" would elicit a better response than "Question", perchance?

FlyerN: welcome to this site, but I would suggest that no-one here flies "stunts" at all. They went away in the 1920's back in the barnstormer days.

I'd suggest a quick thread title change (use the edit function), and then you might get some responses from qualified aerobatic pilots, rather than old fuddy-duddies like me.

I dunno, if us lot are intrigued enough to post pedantic and facetious answers, it's good enough. Welcome to the madhouse!

Stunts? That's what tricksters pull. In aerobatics, we fly manoeuvres.

From what I can tell, Stan Still's answer is correct.
