Boy, I just knew that no matter what you post, you're going to get some
flaming emails...
Sorry if I've offended anybody who thinks that flying a plane is like
driving a car...

Subject: RE: Edge-of-the-envelope maneuvers
You must have had a dream that you were in a suicide flight and that you are
a hero and the star of a movie because no one would be stupid enough to
consiously fly an airplane under the conditions you describe and then brag
about it like you have. Get a life Bruce Firstman

Brad's Somewhat Measured Response...
This certainly isn't for somebody who isn't trained and competent in
aerobatics. If you only feel safe doing 45 degree-bank turns and your CFI
only taught you approaches to stalls then you shouldn't even think about
such things.
My CFI (17 years ago) was a 3,000 hour F-16 pilot who taught me how to go to
the limits, without exceeding them and knowing how to recover when things go
wrong; whether upright, inverted or whatever.
But to each their own. My intent wasn't to brag; but to share an experience
that others' might learn from (and NOT emulate).
...Brad.
P.S. If you're another one about to flame me... Please read that last
sentence... It's not about me... It's about you.

As it turns out, Dave's son works for Scaled Composites. He told me they
use fiberglas on the Spaceship One where the antennas go because carbon is as
opaque to radio waves as is aluminum. So, I'll have a fiberglas dorsil fin.
