Acro crrash in NM by
Ryano
I saw it yesterday...I think there was engine problems. The photo in the
local paper shows he had the controls hard over and was fighting it all the
way.
RIP Richard Bobbitt...

I came across two very short videos of a Hind. What do you make of these

C-172 by
gt
I own a 1960 Cessna 172 with 2500 hours on the airframe. It is not
rated for aerobatic flight, but the positive and negative G loads that
it is approved for far exceed the normal G forces associated with a
well-executed barrel roll.
Has anyone heard of this maneuver being performed in a 1960 172?

to help inspect the prospective aircraft.

Aircraft suitable for zero g flight by
David Findlay
I'm interested in learning to do a zero g manueveur as part of my aerobatics
training. I get the idea that this would require certain characteristics
from the fuel system, i.e. the fuel still needs to flow into the engine in
zero g. Will a standard fuel pump system as provided in aerobatic...

Inverted turn by
Some
Hi,
I have a quite stupied question - I am sorry...
If an aerobatic program dictates a 360 degree inverted turn to the left....
will that be a left circle when viewed from the ground ie. right rudder left
stick ? I tried to look it up in the "IAC Official Contest Rules" but I
can't seem to find...

Pitts Certification by
moby
I have a recently bought Pitts S1-C and I am trying to get its new
airworthiness certificate since the one it had became void at the change of
ownership. The FAA, however, wants a letter stating that the S1-C is an
aerobatic airplane which seems like complete bull to me. I'm wondering where
I could...

Opinions? by
Chris
Was just looking over some old brochures, and got to thinking about the
Starduster line of biplanes. Anyone have experiences with them? In
particular the Acroduster or Super Starduster models.
Also, as a fan of aviation history, as well as the newer sport designs, I'm
curious which of the two is...

Pitt wings by
Al MacDonald
Greetings,
I'm looking at purchasing a good used Pitts S-1D with "C" wings. I can't
imagine why anyone would make this combination but I'm thinking it will keep
me on the learning curve for quite some time anyway. I've read the
difference between the "C" and "D" wings are an extra set of...

Aerobatics in Northern NJ by
Andrew Gideon
Going through the archive of this group, I see several posts about
aerobatics at Sussex. One mentions a place called Airbatix, while others
mention instructors by name.
But these posts weren't recent.
Is there any aerobatic training going on in Northern NJ now? I know about
Van Sant, but I'm...
