Full afterburner pulling 8+ G's saying that was a hell of a ride......
Worked at a saw mill.
They would saw it,
and I would pile it.
If he's not, you'll embarrass him.
If he is, he'll tell you that within 2 minutes.

Your graphic does NOT show a Split-S, but an outside loop. Yuuuuge difference.
Yah I know
My pic didn?t want to turn the way I wanted it to.
In the video did he say 2,000 ft. I could not understand him.

I heard 3000 and the normal is 6500.
The minimum from which to start depends upon the optimum performance speed of the aircraft. At some confluence of lift vs. speed, one will find the point where the loop radius is at a minimum. This may occur at a slower speed than that necessary to generate maximum lift, as a 6G maneuver at 200 knots will be tighter than a 9G maneuver at 600 knots.

There is indeed a minimum-radius Split-S, and it varies with air density (altitude), power available, airspeed, G-limits of plane and pilot - and luck. The problem is finding that minimum while actually doing it as the ground hurtles toward you. The instinct is to pull harder, which isn't always the best solution. And it can be your final one.

That sounds like a better job than being a moanback. My brother-in-law used to be a moanback but he couldn't handle the stress. [;)] [:D]

Same here.
