DRAGON13 Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 10. "RE: Aerobatics and G forces" 03-18-06, 13:51z  Ryan, The reason G-suits are not used by aerobatic pilots is because they are too bulky. Aerobatic cockpits are smaller than general aviation cockpits, in other words...they take up too much space, and because most aerobatic pilots are in better physical shape than "Fighter-Jocks" they don't need them anyway. To be able to withstand high G-loads you need to have strong abdominal muscles, by tightening those muscles at the onset of high G-loads you will force the blood by up to the brain. Do crunches and sit-ups to get in shape. DRAGON13 Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
