A
note about inverted flight. This plane has the Christen Inverted Oil system
that allows unlimited inverted flight as far as oil is concerned BUT
fuel is still limited to the amount in the header tank. The manual says that
this gives you about two minutes of full power and that it takes about
three minutes for the tank to refill when upright. Be
aware of the factors involved with respect to G-LOC and how to avoid it.
Check out a report on G-LOC here. §
