All I would like to know is if this was an injected engine or Ms Schillings Orifice
Looking at the video again the engine was not supplying power when inverted, it was windmilling with the occasional detonation. When he was inverted he was almost certainly bleeding airspeed as he went until he rolled right way up and the engine picked up - quite quickly too. Pretty sure its a carburettor not an injector.
