R2510 right over the Superstition Mountain range, just between Shadtree and Loom Lobby targets. Down there for El Centro show?

Is that a s-2b?

Just watching that made me feel sick haha

WOW! ... You could see the earth getting closer each rotation in the later stages. Great video!

strange. I thought inverted spins were done with cross control. rudder to the right and aileron to the left. someone please educate me. umm someone that actually does aerobatics and not in a sim.

@straighttailpilot --In order to do an inverted flat spin in a plane with a Lycoming engine with clockwise rotation as viewed from the cockpit you need to spin with right rudder as this is with the directionality of the propeller's gyroscopic precession. The "outspin" or right aileron is used to help initiate the maneuver from an inverted spin to an inverted flat spin along with the application of power. After the spin is established, the stick position is mostly irrelevant.

@ssairshows thank you for the response. I had no idea the prop played that much into the physics of the aircraft. I mean. in a spin. but when you said that it reminded me of a crash Chuck yeager had in a f104 and they said because of the engines rotation he could have saved the f104 at full power. the engine rotating would have gotten him out of the spin. great answer. thanks.

@straighttailpilot , That is correct, but remember when you are inverted the rudder is reversed

[straighttailpilot]

@experimentalaviator yes. i do know that. but its not the rudder Im looking at. its the aileron position. ssairshows gave me a great explanation. thanks though. 

[ssairshows]

@experimentalaviator The rudder works the same always. Right rudder is a right yaw and left rudder is a left yaw. From the pilot's POV if you step on right rudder the nose yaws to the right no matter what attitude you are in.

amazing!

How many metres is 21000F?
