Obviously it's stupid to think this but every time I do the 0 g maneuver I'm worried the plane will start falling apart.... I need aerobatic training to get over the feeling
@12ViperPilot it wont stall (in the air) cuz he's keeping the speed above stall speed. Engine may sputter b/c of the fuel but it won't die (generally) because its only a couple seconds.
I've done that, but I'm too chicken to push to exactly zero-G because I'm worried about the fuel uptake getting some air if the fuel uncovers the uptake. I'm not worried in an aerobatic plane, such as a Citabria, etc.
