Warning to Masters Pilots

[Gene Maurice]

More food for thought on this maneuver................

Picture this: winds blowing 25 MPH, You find yourself out just a little to
far, loop got a little to big, you're close to the top of the trees, you
execute the snap, looks good, deeply stalled, comes around and for a change
wing are level, hit the power, MOTORS DEAD, so is your plane!!!!!!  No air
speed, no energy left, no power, not enough altitude, and BTW you're over a
forest, a lake, a primordial swamp, or some other aircraft eating terrain!!!


THIS MANEUVER IS GOING TO CLAIM AIRPLANES!!!

A few weeks ago I was experimenting with the speed/enegy required to do the 
loop with snap roll on the bottom. Be forewarned, I went into the loop with 
a little too much energy and bent my wing tube. I'm beginning to wonder 
whether this particular manuever should be changed for safety sake?
