If your Piet is tail heavy and the pilot is around 200 Lbs, don't go more than2 turns in a spin, or you will need close to 100 HP to get the tail back overyour head, Practice one (1) turn at a time.A roll can be done IF you go into it at least 95 and can maintain 70, and keeppositive G all the way around, But the engine should also keep full power duringthe entire roll.Loops are easy, keep up your speed, Snaps are tough with a full length wing.WARNING ! ! Do NOT get caught upside down, and not flying, tough on shoulder straps.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Tail wheel spring fitting
