Finally, this weekend after my 24th birthday I will finally officially kick off aerobatic flight training. I recently met a nice fellow who works at a flight school next to the one I work at (kind of awkward with my boss... oh well, he doesn't have anything aerobatic! Only shinny, brand new ( < 30 hours) Cessna 172's and 182's!
Anyway, he flys a Decathlon CS and is a regional champion and performed at his first airshow last spring. The airplane is in great shape with newly covered wings and re-nailed spars and even complete with a smoke system.
The cost is only $185/hour tach but includes parachute rental, instructor, and even whatever pre/post flight planning I want. It's a complete package deal! Also, he may even swing down to an airport that's 2 minutes from where I live just to make things a bit easier for me! He's a really great guy to talk with and is really excited about what he does. And the cool thing is he only does aerobatic training! So now it's finally ME time! All I've ever wanted to do is fly airplanes upside down and every other way possible, and now I can do it! Without breaking the bank! We have a tentative syllabus written up but may end up just making it up as we go. He said it was written more for people who just want to do this for fun. Not particularly for people like myself who want to go into competition.
Anyway, flight one will consist of basic maneuvers to get used to the airplane such as slow flight, steep turns, stalls in all attitudes - uncoordinated, left and right spins, and do some loops and rolls. Mostly to begin the process of acclimating my body to the different attitudes.
), so we'll see where that goes. Good luck, and have fun. 8-)
