• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I went flying yesterday with my instructor in the Eagle and we were doing loops. Entering in at 160mph it fell out at the top every time.
We are pushing the edge of the Aeros envelope but it isn't a tricky manoever. He is 90kg and I'm 84kg and we had about 30kg of fuel on at the start.
To get into the aeros curve I need a 50kg instructor (hard to find).
I really need to learn advanced spinning but, if I can't do a loop, that isn't going to happen.
I can't get around on my own at 140kts unless I have adound 20kg of fuel.
The plane is good and did lots of Aeros displays. The engine is good but was zero timed and is about 10 hours into running in.
Does anyone have any thoughts? The dipstick responses were brilliant.
Thanks
