Episode 05: So you wanna fly acro…

Happy Friday! Sorry about getting this podcast out a bit late today, but keeping with the tradition of releasing on Fridays, here it is! In this episode I fly solo and talk a bit about the turnout of one of the premier IAC contests in California, Akrofest in Borrego. Sounds like it was a fantastic turnout! I also talk about the status of my Extra, a bit about what happened, and the repairs needed. Should be picking her up in a week or two now! The main guts of the podcast I talked about intro aerobatics. More specifically, I talk about what a new aerobatic student should expect to accomplish, to become proficient in foundational level aerobatics. Also, I talk about how important and integral I think UPRT (upset prevention and recovery training) and spin recovery training his to basic aerobatics. Whether you are planning to pursue advanced aerobatics, or you just plan to fly recreational aerobatics in your own airplane, basic aerobatics have a symbiotic relationship with upset recovery and spin training. I get emails asking my this a lot so hopefully this helps those who are looking to make the move from dream to reality, and learn aerobatics.
