After almost a year, I finally found some chutes and did Acro in my Super Decathlon. I wasn't sure how I would react physically, having not pulled hard in 14 years, when I was much younger and fitter. I planned to just do a few loops, but once I got going, I felt good and wound up doing a few of everything: loops, rolls, spins, Cubans, hammerheads, and immelmans. No discomfort pulling 4G and very little post flight nausea, nothing a milkshake at the local diner couldn't fix. It was a good day.

great to hear it Ed! that is your reward for getting it done so quickly. :TU:

Yep, going down for annual in 3 weeks, so I am going to fly it hard every day from now til then. Unfortunately the IA is out of town until late July, so this has the potential to ground me for a few weeks if the A&P's find any squawks. Hope to work up to a competent Sportsman sequence before then, in case a contest pops up nearby this fall. Right now the calendar is looking kinda sparse though.
