10# +/- 1' fore/aft CG; excludes passenger and pilots weighing over 100#,
unless type-rated in the specific airframe and related instrumentation...
ie; up to 250# gross... excludes ALL hydraulic system models...

once it goes ballistic... departs flight... noses over and falls thru to
left... enters the incipient phase of the spin... drives on in deeper...
buffets HARD to airframe G-limit... breaks... and then crashes... :)...
crash patrol dons their recovery suits... arms and pulls their pistols
out... searching for the border contraband... oh, yeah!

FLY NAVY... a wonderfull life (adventure)

good dakota/dml mechanics/smart guys/w degrees... make good naval air
candidates... if qualified and accepted... :) try it.. you'll like it. I
guarantee it!
;-)

working on '99 dakota water cooled r/t 5.9 truck engine for ultra lite
retrofit, w/constant speed prop, fully acrobatic, inverted injection/oil
system... looking into modifying JBA headers (used and rejected by dml JBA
group buy deal customer... bought for $50) to be used as custom-fitted HIGH
OUTPUT augmentation tubes... airframe to be stressed .1G +/-... fixed
gear... gee, wonder what V1/V2 ought to be...?... having trouble with
hydraulics... due to payload limitation; ie aerodymamics/load... film@11!
