I am very curious now about the G ratings of airplanes. What really sparked my interest was seeing the flying farmer act. The J3 has low G ratings yet he did some insane stall, side slip, loops, and knife edge manuuvers.


check out charlie kulp too.

I've read in AOPA Flight Training a woman doing aerobatics with a citabria.

Any info on how G ratings are done? how do you know if the wing is going to snap or not? Why did the Piper survive those manuvers?

Roger Lehnert is awesome in this video. love it.
