4.0 out of 5 stars Good primer for the beginner, December 9, 1996

By A Customer

This is a good all-round primer for the novice aerobatic pilot. It covers many areas, including which aircraft to train in and which to use as an advanced aerobatic pilot. Unfortunately almost nothing on glider aerobatics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Eentry-Level Aerobatics Text, May 9, 1998

By A Customer

Good textbook-style intro to aerobatic flight. It's a little light on the physics involved, but gives thorough step-by-step descriptions (and matching pictures) for each maneuver. Great for aspiring aerobats, RC flyers, or pilots interested in unusual attitude recovery techniques. I will be buying the advanced aerobatics text by the same authors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for beginners, April 2, 2007

By	Mark Narborough (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've only just started aerobatics and this book seems a good companion to the practical aspects of learning the moves. In particular, the sections on 'what can go wrong' with each manoeuvre helped to build my confidence. This seems a modern and up to date text.
