L-2 Question

[McTow]

Can anyone tell me if the L-2's have the same light aerobatic capabilities as the BC 12's?

Thanks

Re: L-2 Question

The L-2 can do light aerobatics. I don't have my book with me but I will look it up when I get home and let you know.

Yes, you can find those limitations in the eyes of your children, your dog, your wife, etc.

Unless you have personally rebuilt your BC-12, have X-rayed every inch of the steel, and can personally attest to the rebuild... all those 60+ year old components should impose a rather strict limitation on what you do with it.

Ask any 60 year old whether they can take as much abuse and physical stress as they could when they were 18.

AMEN Bill.....
They were all built to +5 & -2 g's when new .

I do a whole routine with the D (L-2) or B and stay at 3.5 & -1.5
