Hi All,
Mark Fullerton, president of IAC Chapter 3 has graciously volunteered to host an aerobatic clinic for RV pilots. While preparations are slowly taking shape I can tell you that the tentative date will be the weekend of 22-23 April, 2017. The venue will be Rome, Georgia (KRMG).
Unlike formation clinics, this will be a rather small gathering due to the intense one-on-one instruction that is anticipated. We can accommodate a good size group for the ground school but the flying portion will necessarily be limited to pilots who have a solid experience with unusual attitude/spin recovery through either military or civilian training. They will be required to follow up the clinic with a commitment to compete in IAC competition during the 2017 season.
If you have the determination to become a competitive aerobatic pilot but lack the requisite basic training I urge you to contact an instructor who can give you basic recovery training. Sources are listed on the IAC web site:
https://www.iac.org/aerobatic-flight-schools
Training at the clinic will be by experienced competition pilots who will coach you from the ground. Ground school will include preparation of your aircraft for competition, understanding Aresti notation, what to expect at your first contest and the finer points of flying competition figures in your RV.
