I've been lurking on the list for a month or so, figured it's time to speak up. I've been flying about three years. I grew up around planes, flew with others a lot, but somehow didn't get my license until age 44. As a kid I loved aerobatics, but that was always with someone else doing the flying. I haven't been in any aerobatic planes in the last three years. I'm planning to buy my first plane in the not too distant future, and it would be nice to have something I could learn aerobatics in. Budget is an issue, so I don't see a Pitts S2B in the picture just yet. <g> One friend recommended finding a clipped wing cub; he said it would be good, low power fun, I could learn aerobatics in it, and "move up" to something more powerful in a year or two. Haven't seen too many clipped wing cubs around. Saw a clipped wing Taylorcraft in Trade-A-Plane recently. I've been trying to find a list on the internet somewhere that will tell me what older planes are suitable for aerobatics, but have had no luck. So - any recommendations for a "starter" aerobatic plane? In the under $40K category? Oh, and I need two seats or there's no way I can get my wife to agree. I've seen Stardusters and Skybolts that looked interesting. What's a Zlin 42M? What did you learn aerobatics in? Would you buy one now? thanks, -- David Hill Atlanta, GA, USA www.hillfamily.org david at hillfamily.org Using PayPal? You might want to take a look at http://www.paypalwarning.com/
