(the plane is not designed for this) and was unable to recover as he stalled
both the wing and canard (no no). The velocity has the engine weight in the
rear.....  

Anyway.... I know the the stance is NO AEROBATICS !!

Hi Hal,
 
Definitely no on the Hammer Heads.  Hammer Heads require yaw from the rudder
to recover.  With the Velo's differential rudders, both rudders will deflect
in the tail slide and not provide enough yaw either way to effect  a
recovery.  If my memory is serving me, I read about someone who lost their
life trying a Hammer Head in a Velocity.
 
The Split S can probably be done (opinion) if modified slightly to avoid
zero or negative Gs (gravity fuel feed.)

Hi all,

 

I don't put much out here but I have a question someone might be able to
answer.

 

I am building an XLRG and I was wondering if the plane can do maneuvers like
a split S and hammerheads?  Has anyone tried these and if so what was the
out come?  How much altitude was lost and did the plane perform alright?
