It's probably harder to get out of aerobatics than it is to get into. Loops, rolls, and spins can be habit-forming! Hammerheads, Cuban 8's, and snap rolls are addicting! Your first encounter with these or any aerobatic maneuvers could produce a wide range of reactions. As people get used to unusual attitudes, however, the exhilaration and fun begins to dominate, gradually influenced by a determination to make loops a more perfect circle, the rolls more true, and to predetermine the exit points of a spin. Control is what everyone, from World Champion competitors to air show heroes are looking for. Practice produces control. The attitude that guides control is what separates reckless fools from aerobatic artists. Aerobatics is not a sport for daredevils. It is for sensible pilots who seek proficiency and enjoy the process. They understand their machine and its limitations, as well as their own personal limitations. The International Aerobatic Club maintains a list of schools and instructors. This can be obtained free of charge. Check out items like the instructor's qualifications, the airplane used for training, the cost and availability of both instructor and equipment. |
