There was a day many years back I would have loved to have a ride like this. Not so much anymore. Impressed with you ability to keep it controlled so well. Must do some serious workouts to keep fit enough to handle those high-G maneuvers.
Not really. Go to an airshow or contest and you will see all sorts of body types. Goody Thomas and Sean Tucker stay in great shape. Others, not so much. I have the worst body type: tall and very thin. And the Pitts has an upright seatback. Just doing this often and learning to breath properly helps a lot. What also helps is that the suffering is only a few seconds at a time. The sequence above was fairly gentle; no pushes into the negative. I think the IAC was worried about category drift this year so they dialed the difficulty back on all the programs below unlimited.
