Another unusual attitude I would like to talk
about is a pitch up to say 70 degrees.
Again, instincts are wrong. Pushing a whole
lot of negative G to force the nose down is
not the best answer.
A half roll to the inverted steep upline, and
then gently letting the nose drop, keeping
gentle positive G on, is a far better maneuver.
With a little practice, it is not difficult to
learn to spiral 1/2 roll upright from inverted,
keeping gentle positive G the entire time.
Think of the second half of a aileron roll.
I remember flying with an aerobatic instructor
who taught on a German piece of junk with
no inverted systems, and a fixed pitch prop,
which was a recipe for prop overspeed and
unnecessary workload, but that's not important
right now.
Anyways, he said you couldn't do a 1/2 cuban-8
because it didn't have inverted systems.
What hogwash. Learn to spiral 1/2 roll from
inverted to upright 45 down. Just like the
second half of an aileron roll.
Anyways, it's really easy. Get any TC Inspector
to show it to you. Or maybe Rui in Winnipeg,
where a [i]three digit IQ[/i] makes you a rocket
scientist in comparison to your neighbors.

I like a good dog pile as much as the next guy but it is pretty tired.
