TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Humpty Bump technique" 10-01-02, 14:19z  I have not flown in any contests yet. In fact, I have been to just one contest, as a volunteer. I've been trying since late spring to buy an airplane without getting saddled with a piece of junk, and I am this close to making a deal on an S-1S. It's anybody guess which will happen first- I buy the airplane, or my head explodes from exasperation. If somebody made me go learn how to do a humpty without asking any questions, I would start by flying some loops and noting the airspeed and Gs at the 90 degree point of the loop. That would be my starting place for airspeed and pull for the half-loop part of the humpty. I'm curious to hear your report on what you found worked best, compared to the numbers at the 1/4 point of a loop, in your Skybolt. Tom P. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
