Hey Coupers. I would certainly trust them both. But I just don't trust the Ercoupe doing a B.H. type air show. I don't think they would either. Remember aerobatics mean different things to different people. Check out what the FAA considers an aerobatic maneuver. The FAA has determined that for purposes of an aviation event, an aerobatic maneuver means an intentional maneuver in which the aircraft is in sustained inverted flight or is rolled from upright to inverted or from inverted to upright position. All standard aviation event aerobatic maneuvers such as slow rolls, snap rolls, loops, Immelmanns,cubaneights,spins, hammerhead turns, etc., Steep banked, level, climbing, or descending turns necessary during maneuvering between aerobatics are not considered to be aviation event aerobatic maneuvers. Normal positioning turns for high performance aircraft operated by the military regardless of angle or bank or pitch attitude, are not considered to be aviation event aerobatic maneuvers. Normal maneuvers, such as steep turns, involved in air racing are not considered aerobatic. The FAA defines aerobatics as "an intentional maneuver of more than a 60 degree bank, or 30 degree pitch up or down." AND you must be wearing a parachute if you are performing aerobatics. So what else is new. Ed
