Hi Keith,
Dare I step into this and get crucified all over again????
Here goes... The LNC-2 has published limits of 9+ and 6- G's. In smooth air.
As long as you keep the plane coordinated the plane doesn't know it's upside down.
Keep you're inverted to a second or two and the oil pump won't cavatate.
The down side of a loop will build instant airspeed, fast! Watch your speed.
OK..... That said... - Disclaimer -
Always stay within the published limits of your aircraft.
Over 60 degs banks require a parachute.
Keep all loose objects secure.
Always do aerobatics in designated areas.
Clear your airspace before doing any aerobatics.
Never endanger other pilots or passengers.
Yada yada... You get the picture.
Hope this helps... And I don't get blasted for answering.

Subject: [LML] basic aerobatics in a 360
I'm thinking of doing some relatively basic aerobatics in my 360,
basically loops, barrel rolls, and anything else with continuous
positive G.
The area where I'm a little hazy is any maneuver with brief moments of
zero or even -1G. Are these to be COMPLETELY avoided, or is it ok for
very brief stints. I'm concerned about the prop and engine. My
knowledge of the internals of the engine are weak, but from the little
I know, without an inverted oil system, prolonged inverted flight
isn't an option. My question is, is 0 to -1G acceptable for 1-2
seconds? I'm thinking here of aileron rolls, or cuban eights.
I don't have my heart set on doing those, per se, but just want to
know where it would be smart to draw the line. I know the airframe can
handle all of that, and then some, it's a question of the engine and
prop.
Thanks for any advice.
