Dunnellon will be my first IAC contest. I want to say a very public thank you to Ron and all the IAC people that have helped me prepare. Frankly, getting ready to compete is quite intimidating. When I thought about aerobatic competitions, I thought about Patty Wagstaff, Sean Tucker and the like. What I've learned though is that the IAC is for those folks AND for ordinary folks like me.

I talked to a few people a few months ago and decided to enter my first contest. I spoke with Ron and some other IAC members. The support that I got was incredible. Please do not be put off by the administrative or equipment requirements of competing. You and your airplane can compete! Practically any aerobatic capable airplane and pilot can complete the primary maneuvers with a minimum of preparation. And, the IAC goes out of their way to make newcomers welcome. You get assigned a sponsor to walk you through at your first contest and, at most contest, a first timer's entry fee is waived.

I've enjoyed practicing for my first contest. I find that it has already greatly improved the precision with which I fly my airplane. It's not that I would wow any ground observer (aerobatic competition is not an airshow performance) but I can fly a much rounder loop!

So, if competing seems like something only other people do, I'd urge you to give it a second look. I'll obviously have a more informed opinion after my first contest but, so far, I'm very impressed by the IAC and the people I've met in the aerobatic completion world. Give it a try!
Randy
