She figured he started to go at just over 6, and was gone by a long 7.
That turn can pull 8+ pretty quick.
She does that stuff all day long. Damn near every day. Lots of grunting and growning though. It's all in the abs, she claims. Even after two kids, she's got a 6 pack I wish I had, so she must be right. Her danger zone is around 8.5+. Some of the RedBull guys enter the course with turns in the 7 to 8 range, and grey out at ~9. That's some nasty sh-t, there.
I'm all but screaming to stay up past a long 6.

That's quite a unique aircraft. I was thinking a standard Cherokee 180.
How does the pilot know when they are approaching their own personal limits? Is the onset somewhat slow..........giving the pilot the opportunity to back out of it? Seems a bit risky..........??
