Hello Listers,
far from wanting to throw oil onto this particular issue, have you guys
noticed that C.H. rates the HDS one up at 800 lbs with 9 Gs?
9Gs!!!!! That is well in the aerobatic range. Planes have been looped
since before WWI, in boxkites made from bamboo, rag and rotary engines,
and these guys lived to tell the tale. The 601 HD/HDS family is built
like a brick-shithouse like we say here in Australia...
Last not least flying is about freedom, and we all know the rules for
aerobatics from when we learned to do stalls with our instructor: clear of
traffic, away from cloud, NOT over built up areas.
Oh, I haved slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughther silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds,- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor even eagle, flew-
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
Let us not forget that flying is a passion,
Cheers,
Chris from Oz
