For the guys who requested the video of a Rocket in a spin, I've put a
very short video on my blog.
You can see the rate is relatively high. This was done close to the
forward C of G limit (ie solo without any baggage) and ailerons central.
There is a relatively normal amount of buffet throughout, I'll try
outside aileron next time to see if it flattens out the spin and makes
it smoother.
For those who haven't done it yet, the recovery in these conditions is
quick and simple.
Cheers,
Tony

Vince,
Actually, I was admiring your camera as a good idea. Combined with a good look
out front it gives you increased SA , which in my world is worth it's weight
in gold. If it helps you, SH! My drift is exactly what you stated, it's a
tool to help but doesn't replace a look with the mark 1 eyeball. I wasn't "dissing"
your idea, just providing another viewpoint which I hope is the objective
of this site...
If I was dissing you, you would know it...

Rob,
That was my Rocket that has the camera. I've said a million times that the camera
does NOT replace S-turns and clearing your path. But an extra view can't
hurt and I use it.
We had an RV-8 taxi into the back of another one up here a couple years ago.
That's what prompted me to spend a few hundred on my system. chump change.
Don't be too fast to dis it unless you've tried it. After all, we really don't
need GPS either. Get my drift?
Vince

Nice work, Tony. Thanks for the video. It looked like three and a half
turns (approx) in 11 seconds or so to me. That's 4 seconds or so per turn
or 90 degrees per second approximately. Pretty fast, I'd say! You look
like you're having a lot of fun with your Rocket. Hope you can make Avalon
next year, I'd love to see it if you still have it!
Regards,
Lee...
