I instructed on the under powered Beach Musketeer (Sundowner) in the
military.
(my playback for flying Electronic Warfare Falcon-20s)
180hp, O-360. We did everything but snap rolls.
The trick is to get the speed up. The smoothest way was to initially do a
lazy
eight or stall turn followed by a slow and smooth recovery (dive) to about
120kts
of airspeed. With that and the 4G we were limited to, we could do all the
basic
aerobatics manovers. A plane won't care what attitude it's in as long as you
have
enough speed to generate lift (may need a touch of flap over the top of a
loop)
and you respect the G margin. Keep lots of altitude under you though for
recovery
from an unusual attitude. Of course we'd never do this in a Rebel ;-). I
caution
all not to do any aerobatics without first having instruction in same. May
save an
engine overspeed or a snapped spar!!!

BTW we used to do a closed pattern for fun in the Falcon starting 250kts,
pitching
up to 30 degress and rolling to 90 degress of bank. Would hit downwind at
1500'
and 200kts everytime. Although this has nothing to do with a Rebel the point
is
with caution you can do a lot with any airframe.

A little flap at the top of the loop --- I knew that dropping flap
was a good way to tighten your turn in a dogfight, but never thought of
it at the top of a loop !! I think one MIGHT be a little too busy !! :-)

Thanks for the interesting info - anything to do with flying is good !

OK...

Now this is something that I have wondered about...and this message stream
has my curiosity up...

I talked to Daryl Murphy at OSH about two years ago. I told him that I'd
seen the promo video with Robin Dyck doing loops and rolls, and that I was
glad to see that the Rebel could do some basic acro. His response was,
"That was probably not a good idea"

(for Robin to do acro, do you think?)

Wonder what he meant?

Now. Because of this, I started thinking, wow...maybe I should have gotten
an RV, but I really never actually felt that way. I was disappointed that I
could not do basic acro in the Rebel.

If you guys, especially you Alister who uses a Pitts, are doing a bit of
acro, maybe someone can respond to this message, and perhaps supply some
entry speeds for a loop, aileron roll, immelman, and hammerhead?

I agree COMPLETELY !!!

Anyone even THINKING about aerobatics in ANYTHING should have a proper
training course with someone who is qualified to teach them, in a suitable
aircraft ! Trying to teach yourself can spoil your whole afternoon !!
