Great video - I have Neil Williams book on my Desk! I did take about 5 hours of professional instruction though! And since then I've learned all I can with my current AC and plan to also attend...
Wonder what he's planning on doing - ? I think it's also got a lot to do with $$ you have to spend - if you have the body - and aspirations to do aerobatics - start with a decatholon or CAB -...
some more awesome advise - thanks - yes it's that red and white one - canadian AME built it - he also happens to be an aerobatic instructor - he build it for himself. It's quite the performer for...
Thanks for the clarification - I'm new to aerobatics - or fairly new - and have yet to compete in a full IAC contest - I'm looking forward to my first contest though hopefully this fall up in Rocky...
good job I'd say just to the rt of the center line as noted below - so it's important to really try and keep it in the center - so if you have to make corrections - either way you have the most...
depends I think - if it' s primary - sportsman etc.... it was noted above the sportsman box was 3500 cubed. feet. 3500 x 3500 x 3500. I believe correct me if I'm wrong it gets smaller and...
I will have to look that one up - I've got a bunch of issues here at my desk but not that one as I've only been a member for 2 years or so.
Thanks for all that - lots for me to make some improvements - I believe I have developed some bad habits for sure - partly because I have no one else to fly with that does aerobatics and I'm new at...
Yes actually one fellow in our club - we have about 135members - used to be an IAC judge - and one day watched me - doing some aerobatics - I was practicing last year's - 2011 - sportsman sequence. ...

That's me in my RV4 - practicing for this years - 2012 - sportsman. I was planning on doing it at the rocky mountain house contest in Sept. I'm in a trade deal...
Now that's a shot! Cool - you should watch the new movie Red Tails for some cool mustang movie clips.
Got to get me one of those - love that camera. I've got some cheap - camera done some video's but it's not as decent as the Go pro. Really makes a nice shot. I've been in quite a few of those...
Thanks - I guess they are all used eh - once it's started for the first time - my plane has a unique history though - a fellow in Oregon - (where - else eh?) built mine - from scratch - this was...
1858 ELMO Takes flight! He's my mascot actually - keeps me on tracke while practicing for this year's 2012 IAC sportsman! My RV4 - sitting at CYVK - Vernon , B.C., Canada, I'm a COPA member,...
love the way the prop's seem to almost stand still - very cool perspective. Great landing too! he's awesome at flying that.
I fly an RV4 with a 0320 -= and I do aerobatics to 4G usually - ingelman's - etc... loops and rolls - etc... not too much in the way of inverted stuff - but I do verticle rolls - and cuban and...
That is some excellent advise. I think we all learn something each time we go out - conditions are never exactly the same - etc... I'm having fun with this for sure and it's a great little plane...
Sweet plane - these are starting to grow on me for sure. The more I get into Acro - the more I'm thinking of getting one. Apparently my AME - (A&P) who did my 100hour maintance has one that...
Thanks for the input - truly appreciated - I've been in contact so far with the folks up in Rocky Mountain house - which I'll guess is about 1.2 - 1.4hours or so from here by air - but over some...
I had 4 hours or so - of training in a citabria - we got to doing hammerheads - cuban 8's etc... loops - rolls - spins etc... mostly sportsman catagory stuff. I got my RV4 - about 6 months or so...
Great video thanks for sharing - it reminded me of another glider pilot I watched at an airshow many moon's ago - this was a non - motorized high performance glider and he did a similar type of...
I also agree with the last thread - you have to find a good instructor - I also first learned in the Citabtria - and I did 5 hours or so of instruction before I sold my old non aerobatic certified...
What can I say - but I'm jealous! totally beautiful AC - you have there. A fellow came through with a black Christan Eagle II at our home airport this summer - it also was an amazing looking...
That's the type of aircraft I did my first loops and rolls in too - lots of fun. What I learned from taking the lessons is the proper way to do the aerobatic procedures and truly understand what...
