Hammerhead to the right? Does the Yak's engine turn to "the other side" (for american stardards, anyway)?

Great video and great flying, by the way.

Question from a beginner (aerobatics are still in the future tense, for me): when you do inverted rolls, how can you tell when you're at the 180º/360º again?

[markhensman]

Yes Russian engines turn the other way. You can tell where you are by looking out the window.

Fantastic Flying. Perfect vertical lines. nailing all rolls exactly. The best aerobatics vid i have seen.

How long you been practicing. Did you win? Got the MX2 yet?

[markhensman]

Thanks, and I did win! MX2 has been delayed. Hope to do the maiden flight today if all goes well.

Don't ever remove this! Great vid, not just visual, but the sound at each point of the maneuver. How about another video from straight ahead view?

[markhensman]

Thanks, I won't! I just sold my yak (sad day) and pick up a new MX2 in October. I'll put up some new vids from the front then. Cheers - Mark.

that looks dizzying.

i'm wondering, as regards airsickness, do you build up a resistance to it? i know you can train to resist g-force effects. i'm thinking about trying out for the air force, and while i've been fine doing aerobatics with the cadets in a grob tutor, i can't help but worry that i wouldn't be in heavier air force training...

wow

I'm about to buy a Yak 55M. What is the fuel burn on the M14P? Cruise? Acro?

[markhensman]

Good stuff, just do it! I still havn't tried the new 12 figure free rules yet in the yak, but I,m sure it will cope.
