PS  I have the Chelton which gives me AOA, but if you are going to be
maneuvering your aircraft at high angles of bank and near the edge of
the envelope, I sure hope you're aerobatics competent and are relying
on more than just a cockpit indication.  The traffic pattern is not the
place to be flying on the ragged edge, unless you're a bush pilot!  ;)=

Barry,

 

I could not agree with you more on this point. Pilots must be very proficient in order to fly this maneuver.

 

I said earlier that I prefer the "overhead" but since not everyone uses it, then I fly the recommended pattern.

 

Regards,
