Default RE: A Bit more power in an Avistar!

Don't trust the Avistar. My wings were glassed and straightened out. I had an TT 46 on it. Doing spins coming down, which i had done previously, and my wing snapped on the left side, not where it was glassed. One second I see this square piece of wood(left wing) just floating in the sky and this spinning rocket at about 150 mph coming down near the runway, the scare of a lifetime. I would suggest u get an aerobatic before trying lots of stuff with trainers. The avistar is supposed tobe an aerobatic trainer, but its not that great for stunts. So just my 2 cents if u wanna keep ur plane up, and everyone at the field safe.
