Hello Guys, I just want to share my adventure vesterday with you…friends gifted me a real aerobatic flight with a Yak 52 to my birthday…the real Thing…ist unbelievable…we did Loopings, immelmanns, slit-ss, stalls, kuban8s, Barrel rolls and the whole stuff…the Pilot even allowed me to start, roll, loop, stall and recover the plane on my own, I had my own Cockpit in the back seat…in real life ist easier than in COD…the plane ist very precise and sharp like an edge to steer und maneuver…at least in comparison to the cessnas I have flown before…we did everything in the altitude bracket between 1000 and 400 meters for safety purposes…and this plane “only” got 400 HP…cant imagine the triple Horsepower like in a Yak fighter…even in this “low” power Regime we touched flight situations from -3 to + 7 Gs…Kind of work, I can tell you…I was sweated…but happy…after landing…and then a beer with the Pilot:)…pre start briefing with anouncing the handling of the parachute could be a litlle bit scary:cool:…to share with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FWsvSa_X_2Q#t=23 thats not my Video, I got one of my own:)…but it is the plane and the Pilot…if you ever want to have fun, join him…Jens is a very cool Person and excellent aerobatic Pilot…going to airshows all over europe…yours sincerely Thor

You are very lucky man. It’s the best fun you can have in an aero plane.
Hope many more EAF pilots get the chance to do this.
Nice!
