If I recall, that bird had a double rotation bug on the ADI requiring an initial rotation, then another to avoid nailing the tail on takeoff. The Capitol guys did catch the tail a few times as I remember :-)) Mm, wouldn't be surprised. It was a stretch 8, allright. no partitions, either. You could clearly see the fuselage flex from the inside during rotation.. They had some good drivers and some bad ones like every outfit I guess. I know Jack Selby was one of the best sticks I ever flew with. Jack was Capitol's CP, and Gus Musante was also very good. Gus had a Ryan PT22 that was beautifully restored.

Didn';t do the guy that built the GeeBee E replica any good, though. He got a PT 22 checkout and then bent his airplane on his very first flight in it (after Delmar Benjiman pronounced it sound) I think the guy's name was Crosby who built it. I liked the Ryan. There as an STA at Van Sant also, but I never was invited to fly it.. Bertie Bertie Great airplanes and great times. I'd do it all over again the same way. I guess the only thing I might change is to have the ability to see bad things about to happen to people I knew and have them possibly listen to me when I told them "Don't do that!" Oh well...it was a great ride. The planes were hot and so were the girls. I carried a Teddy Bear with me in the right gun bay of the Mustang along with a change of clothes for those damn rubber chicken dinners we always had to attend at the show sites on Saturday nights. That Teddy Bear got me hooked up with more female company then you could ever imagine.....well..that and borrowing one of the Blues flight jackets once in a while :-)) I guess we've taken this thread away from the OP and have set a new record for thread creep by this time ole' buddy.

Myth: 1 G barrel rolls are impossible.
Yes, that's right. Bob had a share in flying W. I only ever saw it from the air, long closed. It's airplane shaped swimming pool a Hollywood Boulevard style ghost of aviation as it once had been.. Bertie The Flying W in New Jersey? It's still open--I flew in there for the first time a month ago. The airplane-shaped swimming pool is still still there as well. Pretty cool place. http://www.flyingwairport.com/ |

Think about it- a roll on the vertical does not apply any g to the airplane. Any change in direction accelerates the airplane, and thus applies Gs to it. During a vertical roll there is no acceleration in the z or y axes. Any change in direction accelerates the airplane. |
