* WARNING

Since these engines do not have an inverted oil system, extreme care must be used during low or negative “g” maneuvers. Transient oil pressure conditions near zero must be limited to less than (2) seconds.

 

NOTE

Speeds shown are calibrated.  Corrections must be applied from a calibration of your aircraft to determine your proper entry indicated airspeeds.

 

Minimum fuel in the header tank is 8 gallons; Model 320/360 optional wing tanks should be empty.  Sideslips should be limited to 30 seconds maximum and oil pressure should be monitored in accordance with the WARNING above.

Subject: [LML] aerobatics in a 360?

What aerobatic maneuvers are generally accepted in a 360?  Do you need to have fuel in only the header tank?

 

Thanks,

Andrew
