A friend who instructs in T-34's and T-6's is willing to trade a little
acro instruction ( my airplane ) for some A&P time on his airplane.

The question I have is could someone give me normal entry speeds for
loops , rolls etc, only interested in pretty mild maneuvers just
positive G entry level stuff.

Any input would be most appreciated, thanks ,
Walt

Oh.. almost forgot.... how much oil should I limit the engine to ( to
keep the airplane from getting really messy? )

Walt,

This is based on personal experience only.

The CJ can roll from cruise speed. I have rolled mine at speeds as low as
115kts. Doesn't do the sharpest looking roll, but rolls nice non the less.
130kts does excellent rolls.

When I first started loops, I was told (this is generic) that one should
enter a loop at 2.5 X Vs, which in our case is just happens to be Va
(152kts). Now I have been known to loop it at slower speed (135-140kts) but
it makes for a smaller loop. Looping at higher airspeeds will produce a
larger loop. With 175kts, I end up gaining 1500ft when at the top (I have an
M14p). Even got 1800ft once or twice with a Vne entry. One must be careful
with entry speeds in excess of Va to not pull too hard and overstress this
beautiful flying machine. Normally, my loop are around 3.5Gs.

I haven't noticed a big oil spillage on my CJ when doing acro as long as I
remain positive. Whenever I go negative (inverted for a few seconds or four
point roll) then it starts to spit some of that black oil. Since you want to
remain on the + side of things, I wouldn't worry much about the oil. I would
just keep at your normal level.

Hope this helps,

Dan

In response to Walt Murphy's message - am I alone in thinking that it is extraordinary to seek aerobatic instruction from someone who has no experience of that type of aircraft?
 
I know nothing about CJs, but a Yak-52 customer of ours to whom we had introduced a very experienced 52 aerobatic instructor, chose, for good practical reasons at the time, to get instruction from a superb pilot, BUT with, it now seems, no experience on the 52.
 
They decided to practice flat spins and spun-in.
 
No aircraft problem - simply no experience on type!

Guys,
 
I still remember the day that that happened, lousy weather, low cloud base and they started a flat spin way too low….not very smart….
 
I agree with Richard, if you wanna do aerobatics with full power verticals, get a guy who has a lot of experience on type….
 
The case where Richard refers to was(!) somebody with NO experience at all on the Yak52.

Yes, both killed.  A completely unnecessary tragedy.
