That's probably a bigger engine and lower pitched prop than the specs call for, but no surprises. That maneuver doesn't use the wing much so it doesn't matter if it's flat or semi-symmetrical.

My original club mentor (who just got inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame!) would take the controls of a student's trainer if he griped about a "trainer's performance" and would run it through an F3A pattern sequence. Some do better than others.

The Aerostar is a hybrid trainer and actually more what a lot of us saw as a second plane in years past. You never hear the words "aileron trainer" used anymore.
