Wanted to share a photo which was taken of me in an eileron roll -check the background out... I went flying with two different pilots in this same Plane - a Nanchang... I could definitely feel the difference between the way the pilots handled the loops, rolls and low fly by... what an awesome experience... I flew in it for the first time in Sept 2010, then Aug 2011, and then again the best was two weeks ago.... WOW... thanks Dustin for a wonderful experience... (^^)

Perhaps this pilot could give us a step-by-step ADM process for an engine out at this AGL!! Right up to the step of extracting himself from the morass of wet wing fabric and cables 50m below the surface of Harties!

Hi Anthony;

Yep - it is sooooo amazing... in the LOOP you pull about 2 and a half to 3 G's.... in the aileron roll - not much - just about 1 to 1.5 Gs..... still awesome... I'll post a pic of the plane... I battled to keep my eyes open... but I managed...
