Aerobatics in a Cessna!

#aerobatics #aerobat #cessna
This was a flight I’ve been waiting to do my whole life; an aerobatic ride in a 1975 Cessna 150 Aerobat!
These planes are becoming rare, and a chance to do some aerobatics in one was an opportunity of a lifetime. It almost felt wrong to do loops and rolls in a 150…

    Couple points: I’ve been saying Cessna wrong my whole life and now thanks to my viewers I am fully aware of that haha. (My parents both speak Spanish so I guess I learned inaccurate pronunciations of a few words) Also this was not a training flight, I was only along for the ride. The PIC is a great CFI and when it came to the aerobatics he was in control 100% of the time. Thanks everyone for watching!

    Oh i know it wasnt a training flight. I was trying to encourage all pilots to go to get some aerobatic training. It makes you a FAR better and far far more precise pilot. The qualities you learn as just run of the mill skill flying aerobatics could easily dave your own and passengers life somewhere down the road.. I would imagine you can see how that would be after your flight. Go do another one of those though and get him to do some Split Ses and Chandells maybe a hammerhead or two..Theyre really really fun. I forget the G limit for the 150 but im sure if it can handle a snap roll it can do split s and chandells im sure tgey are about tge same g load. I wouldnt recommend anything getting into the five or six gee neighborhoods. You have to have a love of flight for those. Anyone who didnt really love it would hate pulling gee loads as high as those because having your lips peeled back over your head and your face and scalp popping off the back sounds like it might be a plesant sensation then maybe you would like it lol. Seriously though at high gee your mouth gets all pulled back and it feels like that really. I dont think your face muscles would have the strength to push your lips back togather if they initally were seperated and pulled back like that . i clench mine and i think it works to hold them togather but dont know as ive never seen a pic of myself pulling high gee and my concentration is elsewhere. Anyway not trying to make fun or run you down..im a perfectionist with slight ocd--thats why it kills me its like sandpaper on my brain...lol so i comment on things like that. Sometimes gets people pissed and if ive done that appoligies. Actually trying to help Just discovered ur chan though and going to subscribe and liked the vid

    Wow, NOW THAT brings back memories. When I was about 16, I rode a pushbike to my nearest airport 20 kms from home (in Hamilton, New Zealand) to watch the planes - as you do. A guy was preflighting a Cessna 150 Aerobat. We chatted, and he said you want to come flying (this is back in 1982). I said YES! And then he told me we would do some aerobatics.......... yeah....ok...... I did not know what to expect was but ok with it - I was going flying! Off we went - unfortunately I don't remember too much except the aerobatics. 3 rolls, 3 lops and a 3.5 rotation spin. We then landed at his farmer friends property - up a hillside grass runway. Had a chat and a rest and returned to the airport One of the best days of my life. I wasn't sick, but as the farmer pointed out - I was green ;-) I don't remember any of the pushbike ride home - I was buzzing with excitement to tell everyone what I had done. Today as you can see from my youtube channel - I fly trikes in Australia. Aviation fulfillment! And - Thank you for your video!

Crescent moon night, 2500 ft above SCT -> BKN clouds, and suddenly my nav and beacon lights were reflecting back at me and no visible horizon. I failed THAT checkride, coming out of the cloudbase at 1,000 MSL in a high speed, high G spiral, gyros all tumbled. Thank God for a 9G airplane, or I would have pulled a "JFK Jr". G meter recorded 7+, and I saw my nav light reflections in the water pulling out.

    I was fortunate that the FBO back in the 80's rented a 152 aerobat, and that there was a qualified aerobatic instructor. We did just about everything you could do with the limited horsepower and no inverted fuel and oil. Inverted flight was done by rolling inverted and gliding down a 1000 feet then rolling upright and restarting. The most miserable maneuver for me was the English Bunt which was also done with no power. It was amazing how fast it snapped to the left compared to the snap roll to the right. Great memories were made. Thanks for the video.

    I can't help but think how many new pilots would still be with us if basic acrobatics was part of a private pilots license. Where a young pilot recognizes a pending stall or spin and recognizes and safely maneuvers avoiding the situation. Or simply how much more confidence a low time pilots has in a fuller range of flying instead of getting into a dangerous situation without either recognizing or knowing how to safely recover.

    Great to see that I always wanted to fly a Cessna 150 Aerobat when I first saw it actually in a Acrobatic Competition and if it had more power than what it was manufactured I would have a 150 HP with a constant speed prop and yes it would had more weight and more forward CG and my counter weight in the tail fuselage would have to be increased to equal out my useful weight but unfortunately I could get my altitude that I need to do my maneuvers more guicker and my airspeed indicator would have to be recalibrated to have the exact true ready ! The last time I did any Acrobatics was in a Super Decathlon and i did some spin training with my instructor . The one thing that happened to another student is they pull to many G loads and things can happen very fast to a Aircraft. Thank you for the great ride.

    My first flight ever in a plane back in 86' was in a 152 (G-TEES), i was 11 and my dad winked airside security to be asleep, and we stole the plane, i was so crapping myself . Then. It was full throttle and we were airbourne. (He did his PPL on the quiet)The penny dropped and i think i swore at dad, laughing so much after, it was all pre arranged lol. Great memories. Soon after i was up with dad and instructors doing ANC and performed first stall/spin recovery when i was 12... i did it perfect throttle back , carb heat, nose up, wait for the cat screach, pull it back hard and stick the boot in, the recovery was perfect too but id turned a shade of grey/green on my first one (maybe the pressure lol) that was in an old 150 i loved so much G- **LY . They are like a mini with wings , gorgeous planes with great visibility over tomahawks and cherokees , I flew them as well but a Cessna is so much better and fits. Long live c152/150 xx Great video... feel 12 again !!

    C-150A was my first aerobatic aircraft experience, followed shortly thereafter by the Pitts S-2B then later the F-16. It makes a nice aerobatic aircraft, only downfall is climb performance, so after an altitude-losing maneuver like a split-S or spin it takes a bit to climb back to altitude for more fun. I learned a great C-150A spin-entry technique from my instructor to get a good, sharp over-the-top spin entry every time (rather than simply mushing nose-down into the spin.) Approx. 5 to 10 knots above stall speed, rapidly snatch the remaining stick back into your lap as you stuff the rudder - the nose comes up and the spin entry is always over the top every time rather than nose-low. On the loop in this video, they bump into their own wake, meaning the loop was pulled off nicely. It is the same in every aircraft, even on the T-38A and AT-38B I flew, we took 10,000' to scribe out a loop (e.g. start at 10K and 500 knots, apex at 20K, then finish back at 10,000' and 500 knots) - if it is nice and symmetrical, even when it is a 10,000' loop, you still hit your own wake at the bottom if done correctly.

    It’s kinda sad, put most pilot’s are not taught how to apply rudder at high airspeed and opposite rudder at low. Then as A/S drops over the top in a loop for example allow the airplane to fly over the top so from the ground it appears to actually scribe an arch, or loop.

    Back in the '80s, I did some of my primary Aerobatics in an old C-150, fun. I later got a Pitts S-1C, and did Competition Aerobatics. In that time frame, I watched Doc Harvey take that same 150, and do the IAC Primary Sequence. (A 45 Up Line, a Vertical Down Line with 1, and a half rolls, A Reverse Half Cuban Roll, Full Loop, 180 Aerobatic Turn, and a Full Roll.) Yep, that Airframe is still out there doing it's thing.

    I’ve done aileron rolls in several Cessna’s and Piper cubs but no loops. Spin recovery used to be taught to student pilots but there were too many fatality’s so only Instructors do spin training. Student pilots are taught how to exit a spin but in ground school. Standard Cessna 150 has a 100 horse engine. I believe some Aerobats have 150 horse. That makes flying fun.

    I did quite a bit of aerobatics in a Cessna 150 Aerobat. It was a blast. The main problem though was having to always dive to pick up enough speed to do simple aileron or barrel rolls, loops, etc.. In spins, the aircraft spins way faster than a lot of other aircraft. it's easy to get disoriented in a spin -- but that makes good practice.

    When I used to skydive a lot, one of our club pilots would read a Duane Cole aerobatic book at home and then after he dumped us out, he would practice aerobatics on the way down in our 182. He even barrel rolled the plane with a load of jumpers in it. Lots of times he gave us a bit of zero Gs. I did a back flip- or at least three-fourths of one inside the plane. We used to joke that our club pilots were frustrated fighter pilots. We had so much fun in the jump plane.

    I used to do full aerobatics in not only an aerobat, but also normal 150s (utility cat). They can all do these maneuvers, but the aerobat is rated for it, and can take more g load. In a normal 150 you just need to watch to g loading, and speed with the control inputs.

    I did a lot of C150 aerobatics way back when... In a 150 Aerobat, the aileron control wheel turns only 90 degrees on the ground, but when doing rolls in the air, the wheel turns a full 180 degrees. The 150 spins faster than most other aircraft. You have to lower your nose to gain enough speed to do loops and rolls, immelmann turns, etc. It was fun though....

    I have a few 100 hours teaching students in an Aerobat.... pretty basic spins and aerobatics mostly for ratings. Of course spins are not required for private pilot, however CFI must do 3 spins left and 3 to right. I have since several aerobatic aircraft and progressed to advanced, but the Aerobatic 152 is pretty good for teaching the basics...
