the older zenith models were rated for aerobatics, but didn't think the new ones were. Does it have a fuel and oil system designed for inverted flight?

No. it's just the standard equipment.

If you maintain positive Gs through the whole maneuver it probably doesn't matter! Does the 601 POH allow this maneuver?

It's a homebuilt, so the builder writes the POH. You can include anything you want....but that doesn't make it a good idea. An XL, though, is plenty tough enough for easygoing "gentleman's aerobatics" like that. +6 Gs at aerobatic weight, as I recall.

just out of interest what speed is the entry , and at what weight ?

The Zodiac loops nice; just drop the nose and pick up a bit to about 120 kts and it will do a 500 ft loop and not loose any altitude. It is about a 2 G maneuver at close to gross weight.

sounds good to me , what about +g rolls (barrell rolls)got rotax 100 horse ,they dont like any reduced g .

what was the speed at entry and the a/c weight ? just out of curiosity.

Looks like Zodiac put the "Sport" in Light Sport!!

wow , what is your take off weight and air speed at the start of your loop ?
GBzodiflyer 5 years ago
Looks like fun! (but don't try this at home without proper training and equipment).
