LOL!
Over time overstressing it?
Like a single 6 G incident wouldn't
bend it?
C'mon. Most of (ahem) other student's
landings are at least 4 G's
and
these are not the 'good' positive
G's but the 'bad' negative G's.
Planes get sold without logbooks all the time too.
We then give them to an IA, and
he looks over it with a fine tooth comb, and BINGO!
A signature goes in
and a family of 5 goes flying off into the sunset...
If you are saying an aircraft is uninspecable after
high G flying,
you are also saying it is uninspectable after an accident.
I don't think this
is the case.
I do agree that one could potentially
stress an aircraft in between
annuals, but I am unaware of a significant number of
accidents caused
by high-G damage that wasn't detectable by a pilot
preflight.
The T-34s were a notable exception.
I'd be much more concerned about the occupants, and
perhaps those on the ground, than hidden aircraft damage...

NW_Pilot,
I totally agree that life is short. I also try

From what I have read so far, no one has criticized
your decision
to take up aerobatic flying be it rolling, spinning
or whatever. The
concern was with the use of inappropriate equipment
(a non aerobat 150)
and the potential risk of other lives (unless you
and your instructor
chose a totally unpopulated area for this practice).
Couldn't give a toss about the lives of the people
in the aircraft.
I'm ****ed off with him for putting the aircraft in
to a situation that
will, over time, over-stress it, potentially killing
someone totally
innocent in months or years time.
