    Cool video, Don. I've always wanted to learn how to do the wingover but never had the nerve to go past 45 degrees. Like
the music.

    Dennis - once you learn, you'll do them all the time. Easy, low stress, and fun!

    I do like stalls & do them about every time I go up. Don, did you teach yourself or did you get instruction?

    Dennis, I figured out how to do wingovers and chandelles by reading and cautious experiment. But it's not necessarily a good idea to do that on your own. (Remember that Seareys would be Normal category airplanes if they were certified. And that the utility category comes between normal and acrobatic.)

Why not find an acro instructor and get a real intro to it in an airplane built for the stresses. Citabrias and Decathlons are a bit stodgy compared to a Pitts or an Extra, but they're more common and generally cheaper to fly. They'll do all the standard maneuvers--rolls, loops, inverted flight, and so on. Spins. You might love it--or not--but it's all good experience.

    Good advice, Don. I'll probably have to scare myself into taking it, though.

    WDS.

Dennis, my private pilot instructor was scared of stalls and he passed that to me. I had some time before working on my commercial rating so I arranged for a 10 hour basic aerobatic course with a flight school, we started off with straight ahead stalls and worked up to cross-controlled, turning stalls, (like what kills SeaRey pilots on the base-final turn), then into rolls, loops, etc. One of the things I ever did for my flying. Saved my arse once when I student kicked the wrong rudder in a Traumahawk while practicing stalls.
