Could anyone tell me what aerobatic manuevers are permitted in a Rocket ? 

I'm told the prop

extension puts excessive force on the crank and wish to know what exactly 

you can and cannot

perform without damaging the engine.



                                         Thanks- Craig

It depends on your prop, engine mounts and type of maneuvers.  Any "gentleman" aerobatics are fine; These include rolls, loops, cuban eights, inverted flight (with appropriate system).  If you have a metal prop and you are doing radical snap rolls or abrupt maneuvers, you might bend the shaft.  If you have a composite prop, you can get away with more radical stuff; the prop will absorb some of that energy and not transmit it to the shaft/bearings.  But, the aircraft has limits too.  It isn't an unlimited type of aircraft.  It is build, more or less, for basic aerobatics...maybe a step more.   



-Good luck,

Matt

I have never seen an approved list of maneuvers published for any of the =

RV series including the HR II and F 1.  All planes are limitied by the =

published airframe G force numbers and any equipment that is installed.  =

In the case of the prop most are using on Rockets, the M2YR hub, we are =

limited to 3.8 Gs.  There are variables that I am sure someone will =

point out but this is my controlling number.  At 62 yrs. and 30 pounds =

overweight I am not interested in unlimited aerobatics, or even =

sportsman for that matter - an occassional roll or loop and I'm done.
