With the exception of the second video (silver/red Zlin 50), these are all Knife Edge Spins...and not really Lomcovak in the traditional sense. Similar family of maneuvers though...and lots of fun to watch.

Lomcevak is actually Czechoslovakian and roughly translates to headache or hangover.

Did one of these yesterday for the first time. Pulled vertical, started an unloaded roll to the left, let it slow down then put in a bootful of right rudder and forward left stick. It was great. :D

If you want to see a Lomcevak in a jet plane check out the Frecce Tricolori.

The first Lomcevak that I saw was at the Sussex Air Show in New Jersey performed by the late Leo Loudenslager. Sadly both are gone. But what a show! If I remember correctly, they said over the loud speaker that Lomcevak means headache in German. I don't know if that is true, but if it is, then I can see why they call it that. It is one violent maneuver! But fun to watch!

in this video it seems that the cap232 and zlin's perform the lomcevak better

há três tipos de manobras diferentes nesse vídeo: lomcevak, tumbles e knife edge spin
Niel Williams spent the latter part of his life developing the Lomcevak so I'll stick with his interpretation. If the maneuver is rotating at the CG in pitch with no roll or yaw, it's a Lomcevak. There's a video on my site that shows Art Scholl doing a classic Lomcevak. Art was a master at it with a big airplane like the Super Chipmunk. A knife edge Lomcevak is still a Lomcevak...it just happens to be falling sideways. From pilot descriptions it sounds like the P39 Airacobra would Lomcevak.

A proper Lomcevak tumbles head over heel around the CG or center of the airplane. Usually they are done to the left...A Sukhoi would be to the right since the engine rotates the other direction. A Lomcevak is not a snap roll, not a yaw pivot or a yawing snaproll. I'm sure the pilot can feel a good one since there is not much G generated during the tumble. There is a danger of a flat inverted spin on recovery and if the Lomcevac is performed low this could be a real problem.
