Default I thought you're not supposed to be able to do this...

I ran across this video... full scale waterfalls, tight knife edge spins and hovering... Must be in hella good shape to stand up to those punshing G's, I think I'd loose control of my body functions...

There are but just a small handful of people in the world able to do that. It truly is amazing what they are able to withstand with their bodies.

Very impressive.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this one. I get to see Sean Tucker & Rob Harrison (Did his last show this year. ) each year at the Planes of Fame airshow, and Rob Holland is like both of them together. (Don't tell Sean Tucker, but I think Rob's show looked better!)

What the full scale can't do is exceed 9 g for more than a few seconds... or the pilot will pass out.

His plane appears to have almost 1:1 thrust:weight. He had to "flop" out of the torque roll rather than accelerate vertically as our models can do. (with 2:1 or sometimes higher thrust:weight)

Its an impressive performance.

Rather, what the pilot can't exceed is 9g's....the plane can accomodate quite a bit more.....thanks for that little tid-bit of info Fred......lol

Seems even more intense than Astronaut and fighter pilot training.........
