Let's see some RVs representin' in IAC! Chapter 19 will host our fall contest this year at Foothills Regional (MRN) in Morganton, NC Oct. 18-19. Would be great to see an RV there. Ron Schreck (RV-8) went home with a Sportsman trophy at our spring contest last year. For anyone who may not be ready for solo competition flights, Johnny White http://aviatorsunlimited.us/ will be there with an S-2 Pitts available for dual rental. For any of you with very basic (and I do mean very basic) aerobatic experience and wanting a challenge, you could likely learn to fly a passable Primary Sequence in 2-3 flights and compete just for fun. That's how I got into contest flying. The Primary Category is designed for beginner acro pilots and consists of just a few figures. It does not require perfection, just that you be safe and have fun. Entry requirements when flying a non-owned airplane are simply your pilot's license, current medical, and IAC membership. Our contests are laid-back and a guaranteed good time for anyone with real aerobatic interest. Or show up in your RV and fly the (RV-capable) Primary or Sportsman categories, even if you cheat the negative lines a little. Anyone interested, let me know. These are the 2013 sequences for those unfamiliar:
