I remember a while back reading a post about putting a touch of SOE under ones nose as a mood lifter and that PI or NPA etc. works to get physically motivated. (ie, going to the gym)
I tried a little dab of NPA on the underside of my nose before doing some aerobatics lessons last Thursday to see if it did much for the aggressiveness. (aerobatics meaning flying a very light 300hp aircraft in all sorts of fun and often inverted situations)
Usually I do vertical lines with a 5 G pullup (G meaning G-forces on ones body... you\'ll feel 1.4-1.5 G when an airliner lifts off and 1G standing on the floor) I like to fly very smooth and nail the lines perfect. Well, I got a comment from my instructor that he was impressed with two consecutive 8G pulls to vertical lines, the limit of the aircraft for G-loading. I apparently was also much more aggressive in starting tumbles and advanced manouvers, instead of gaining perfect entry I was forcing some of the movements. I was not aware that I was flying much different.
I think I\'ll not use them again in the air, but most certainly will try them for the gym.
