Back in the late 60's or early 70's Forrest Lovely flew an original "Piet"from Minn. to Maine. When he departed Albany NY he did a snap roll ondeparture. He was only 16 or 17 at the time and there was a picture andarticle in the ALB newspaper about this kid doing a cross country in a 1930vintage homebuilt airplane.Gordon Brimhall wrote:> Well looks you have an aerobatic piet.>> get that 0-290 in it and you will be able to do snap rolls.>> nice that the plane will hold together.>> Gordon>> Eli or Robert or Teresa Bozeman wrote:>> > the recovery was to badddddd, it jecked the stick out of my hand, an i> > grabbed it and started to force it back, an thought it was going to> > set me up for a flat spin , so i relaxed a sec. an thought OK> > spin...forward, opposit rudder....no!!!!upside down...back,> > toprudder..3 turns an I'sss out of it!!!!> > don't ever want to do that again.
