Basic Aerobatic Book

[Olin]

Now that I have some disposable income (only because I am no longer employed in the aviation industry), I am looking at finally learning aerobatic flying. Does anyone have any good recommendations for basic aerobatic books and/or know of any good schools/instrutors in the DFW area.

Thanks,

Olin

Aerobatic books

I'd recommend Basic Aerobatics by Michael Guolian/Geza Seurvy or The Basic Aerobatic Manual by Bill Kershner. Both are fine books for starting out flying greasy side up.

I second the recommendation of Kersherner's book.

I would recommend the book "Roll Around A Point" by Duane Cole. He explains & illustrates all the aerobatic manuevers from the simple loop to inverted turns. A very good book for someone just getting into aerobatics.

Olin,

I'm with digger in recommending both books.

Good books.

I'm know I'm a bit younger and a lot less experienced as a pilot than most of the folks posting on this forum, but I'll say:

I own, have read, continue to study and use all three books mentioned. I recommend them all.

It's also been very helpful to me to join and become involved with the International Aerobatics Club. Here's the site: http://www.iac.org/

There are regional chapters throughout the country, many of which have events you can fly in from the Sportsman through Unlimited catagory (guess which level I'm in).

The discipline of learning the Known sequences and then trying to fly the Unknowns has done much to improve my core piloting skills and I've met a wonderful group of people through the sport.

There's nothing to keep you modest like blowing through the side of the 1000 meter box.

Good luck in the sport. No doubt you're going to love it. Absolutely addictive.
