There is an absolutely amazing video at this site: http://www.chilloutzone.de/files/08102703.html Some people around here believe it's a hoax. Does anyone know if this for real. (If it is, it has to qualify as the save of the decade, if not century.) rick

Dear All, The world championship for glider aerobatics has started these days (16-25 August) in Austria. The official webpage (www.wgac2007.com) has been advisitising livestream transmissions of the contest flights. I have been looking on a regular basis but no flight are yet available. They have...

Hi Anyone could help me finding a light cloth helmet for my standard "clark-like" headset ? I have made something efficient but ugly with clips from an old mtb helmet. There are nice leather helmets on the web but often circa $200 which is definitely too much for the thing, and anyway will not...

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?

While recently doing some extended inverted time, practicing rolling out on headings while still trying to maintain altitude, I noted some brake fluid had leaked onto the pedals and got rather slippery. I hadn't noticed this before, as most of my stuff so far has been positive Gs. I'm assuming...

I have a set of plans for DR-107 One Design for sale. Blue prints are complete and included is aircraft tag and agreement to built one airplane from this set of plans. Those plans are sold by Aircraft Spruce for $275.00 I believe. So, make me an offer. Thanks.

Could anyone recommend a good aerobatics instructor and/or a good aerobatics school in or near the Houston, Texas area? Thanks in advance, jw

Ive just started some aerobatic training and have got the bug big time. So much so in fact that I'd like to combine my holidays with some more aerobatic training I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good aerobatic schools in Europe - preferable somewhere with some nice weather....I live...

I have an older Pitts S-1 project I an trying to finish. It has Sparcraft 4 aileron wings. The old plans I have do not show the CG range. Does anyone flying a Pitts like this know what the CG range should be? Thanks!

I just heard that Duane Cole has passed away. Does anyone know the details? Rick Pellicciotti, Memphis, TN

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...

What happened to this group? I am a proud owner of a Citabria and look forward to many of the postings.

I'm looking at a house that is about 1 mile north of the airport -- right in the flight path of the north-south runway. I would like to find out how many planes a day fly in/out of the airport and typically how many of these use the N-S runway. Any help or a referral would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know of any aerobatic helicopter pilots?
