Big Truck inspired me to try but I don't have an F16. What to use, what to use. I got it! Took me several tries though.

I think the AoA would be too large... (in the negatives, of course).

Thanks for the positive comments!

I was surprised that I could even get it inverted. I had to start at an altitude of about 6000 agl and lost a lot of altitude in the process. With that angle of attack I was fluctuating between 75% and 100% power and had an IAS of between 250 and 300 kts. And no I did not crash soon after, lol. I was actually trying to gain altitude so I could un-invert the invert.

But with the stresses on the wings, wouldnt they be ripped off? (IRL)
