I feel the need to jump in here for a few reasons.
1) I would love to compeate in primary; however:
a) I'm not all that sure my 48' Navion would be welcome
b) I'm not all that sure I would be welcome because.
1) I have had no training in aerobatics, yet would love
to learn.
2) I would love to purchase a Pitts; however:
a) two planes, geez I'm having enough fun trying to keep
one flying.
b) two planes, anyone got a few thouand dollars they don't
need?
c) I'm not getting rid of my Navion.
Now on the statement:
>May we see a showing of hands of all of you that were as

as you are now?
Really I remember very well learning how to land. For the
longest time I was compatant in landing; yet it took a lot of
focus. THEN something happened, the focus is still required;
however it is now more of instinct where I feel I'm a lot
safer.
Anyway, just the humble openion of someone who is still
trying to find a way to fly aerobatics.
Later, Dive / Fly Safe
