What? This is well in the airframe's capability. In fact 0 g is less stressful on the aircraft then 1 g level flight. The pull out is no more then two g's and well within the limits. don't talk unless you know what your talking about.

amen i do this all the time the worst possible thing that happens is the fuel deports for a split 2nd...big deal

I've seen a number of these "0 G" videos without anything floating. You have to push the plane over. Start with a shallow dive, get into the yellow arc, pitch up so all you see is blue, then push the yoke in, don't be afraid, the engine may sputter for a second because on carburated planes the float will float and cut fuel for a moment, If you want 0 g you have to push the yoke in with vigor.

@arran601 a parabola isn't a stall...

@jkstr372

but if it goes too fast, it will have that effect in that causes the back portion of the plane that controls the pitch will be inoperable, to affect even if the yoke is pulled

@Doctor699 its a stall...

[Doctor699]

Flying a lpane is for those who have sense. Someone who can make a good decision extreamly quickly. I noticed the stall warning in this video, and the fast reflex that stoped the warning!

I knew this when i preformed the maneuver. My flight instructor was with me and we discussed this before attempting anything. Thats why we flew a series of parabolas. No worries. I am very responsible. However, I do believe a you must use excellent judgement when flying airplanes and it is not for everyone.
