very well filmed, that's the most realistic vid i have seen so far, I can almost feel the cabin roll and yaw. Hey, just wondering why the engine kept stopping tho?? is it to do with fuel supply to the engine

[ozbb22]

@AussieDannny, yes exactly, the fuel pressure drops that the engine stops too. After it happened about 5 times, I was getting a little concerned!

@Hkteen australia doesnt have HD technology yet

At first I was like "Oh, this is pretty cool, I wish I could do that." Then at 2:52 I was like "HOLY SHIT YOU LUCKY BASTARD THIS IS AWESOME AS HELL"

Awesome vid! Fantastic looking airplane. I can tell it wasn't under FAA regs - we'd have to wear a chute here in the US to be "legal".

Very nice vid !

I am taking flying lessons to pass my PPL and I fly on a Robin 200 so I recognise the cockpit and I just want to do aerobatics too !! =)

I just bought a Gopro 2 so I will record my flights.

Keep going

Cheers

Awesome

Except that first maneuver wasn't 'aerobatics' in the true sense of the word. That was a spin. Notice the stall, full aft stick, and then right rudder.

Must have been real fun. Would like to go. Steve, would you take me on such a flight, if I ever come to Australia?

LIKE :)

@brizbane1 Or the the fact the prop stops that when doing some Aerobatic maneuvers that have the throttle set to idle (closed) it is the air that is providing the driving force for the propeller/engine, (windmilling flight) when you slow down the aircraft the airspeed is no longer driving the propeller so it stops, nothing wrong with the Carburator, and its not exactly due to the fuel pressure as it was not extended periods or inverted or negative g force. as the carb will be float type.

That's awesome. I could do that all day long.

I think I would have died in there, I'm terrified of heights lol
