An Exhilirating Form of Flight-Advanced Aerobatics in Easy-to-follow
Illustrated Lessons Next to flying aerobatically themselves, this book is the
closest pilots can get to the advanced aerobatics experience. For the many
pilots who do want or need to learn specific maneuvers, there is no better
guidance than this book.
A lesson-by-lesson guide, it combines accessible text from aerobatics
champions with sequential cockpit view photographs and detailed graphic
illustration to provide a hands-on primer on specific advanced aerobatic
maneuvers. Each maneuver is given an entire chapter, with a clear description of
its elements; discussion of the theory behind it; step-by-step details on how to
fly it; a look at the finer points and common errors; and corrective measures to
take if something goes wrong.
Maneuvers taught include:
- Horizontal inside snap rolls
- Vertical rolls
- Hesitation rolls
- Outside maneuvers
- Rolling circles
- Tailslides
- Advanced snap rolls
- Advanced spins
- Gyroscopic maneuvers
- Advanced sequence composition
- And much more!
Spicing up the lessons are the personal advanced aerobatic tips of such
world and national champions as Patty Wagstaff, Les Loudenslager, Phil Knight,
and Xavier de L'Apparent, and advice from U.S. National Team trainer John
Morrissey. This book also provides coverage of training regimens, and
high-performance aerobatic aircraft.
