WOW. I was away for several days and I think I'd see two replies to my
post before I left.

Thanks for all the replies - you guys are easy to get going but never
boring... well, usually never. :+)

Anyway, I thought about Vne being a problem later. Seems like the right
thing to do (after drinking my cup of water, tying a string to the
panel, plugging the fuel vents, and hoping I have enough oil) would be
to nose up a bit prior to the roll and push forward while inverted.

I know this isn't the plane for this kind of maneuver and I have no
intention of trying it. Sure would like to do some acro someday,
though. Maybe when I save enough to by that Stearman I've always wanted.
