Dan's only been back from Oshkosh for 3 days. I suspect he's frying bigger fish. Like parts for mebagarre wrote:Not the most active of forums
I've watched Dan do snaps and suspect it will not be a prohibited maneuver.

Re: Tail strength
Personally I think you are encroaching into Pitts territory David. I would be cautious about regularly doing snaps in anything less than a well known and dedicated aerobatic machine. The Panther is a fine sport aircraft however so I think anything in the primary or sportsman level IAC routines would be a great match. To my knowledge snap rolls are only in intermediate and higher level sequences.

Tail strength
Are there any issues with doing frequent snap rolls with the panther?
Without any bracing, I'm concerned about cracking.
Also, how strong are the hinges on the elevator and rudder? Worried about an accidental tail slide in a botched hammer head jamming the controls over and breaking something.
As you might have noticed, I'm interested in doing sportsman aerobatics in the Panther but want to make sure it can hold up to it. I don't expect it to be an Extra 300 but I'd like to know if it will hold up if I snap it too fast or screw up a maneuver a few times.
thanks!
