RE: Stinger 120
Jim,
I hear ya on this cold front. I'm up in the Tulsa area and it was 22 this morning. Where's Dayton, Tx? I'll be heading south to San Antonio for Thanksgiving and some deer hunting, so I kinda hope it stays cold down there. There's nothing worse than deer hunting in late November and it's still in the 80's. [:@]
About the cartwheels, I suppose the CG would have to be a ways back to make the plane unstable enough to do it. Recovering from it is what would concern me. The method described above of entering it from a climbing knife edge might be safer than my cartwheel "spin", but I think the plane would tend to snap into a Lomcevak maneauver, which is a sorta-cartwheel.
Anywho, I'm sticking to the simulator for such flying, as I don't even have a plane that can attempt 3-D[X(]
