  • 2007 Chapter Officers
    OUR ROOTS: AEROBATICS IN THE ‘60’s With the onset of cold weather and the lack of chapter news, I will take liberties with this installment to share some of our heritage. I first participated in formal aerobatic competition in 1968. At that time US competition was sanctioned by the ACA (Aerobatic Club of America) and was divided into three competition categories: Primary, Advanced and Unlimited. After three wins, Primary contestants were required to move up. In 1968 I was married with two boys and earning a whopping $820 a month as a chemistry instructor. I competed that year in Primary with a stock 65 hp J3 Cub. The ’68 Primary sequence was well designed and accommodated good energy management: Spin Loop Immelman 45 down snap Half Cuban Barrel Roll Hammerhead Slow Roll Reverse Half Cuban Four Point Roll Those of us without inverted fuel often experienced loss of power during the Immelman and appreciated the subsequent 45 down line in order to restart our engines. Contests in ’68 were held at Monroe, LA; Vandalia, IL; Ottumwa, IA; Rockford (Harvard) IL and the Nationals at Oak Grove airport, Fort Worth, TX. One of the pleasures of this era was the wide variety of competing aircraft. They included a lively mix of both monoplanes (clipped Cub and T-Craft, Luscombe, Ryan PT-22 and STA, Citabria, Stitts Playboy, Cassutt Racer, Chipmunk, Dart, and Zlin) and biplanes (Smith Miniplane, EAA Biplane, Pitts Special, PJ-260, Stampe, Bucker Jungmeister and Jungmann, Great Lakes, Wacos, and Stearman). Many of these early airplanes were modified to enhance their strength, control systems and to implement inverted power.

  • Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4
    Hints on Flying the Pilatus B4 This is an English summary of Jochen Reuter's paper, published on the SAGA-website www.sagach.ch I could not resist adding a few hints of my own, where I saw it appropriate. But overall, it is still Jochen's text. And I was too lazy to convert any units of measurement from metric to English. If you prefer to go by knots and pounds etc. you will have to juggle the units yourself. General Remarks Any pilot, who is new to the B4 will notice that it is a "noisy" glider. The "blonk-blonk" of the skin panels can upset a novice, but after a few flights you get used to it and before long you'll ignore it. Jochen's B4 came from the UK and a previous owner had apparently tried to turn it into a high-performance machine. All the skin joints and rivet heads had been covered and smoothed. But if you intend to do aerobatics, this is not a good idea at all. Apart from the additional weight and lots of useless work, the putty becomes brittle with time and when the structure is flexing, will crack and eventually peel off. Talking about C of G: Jochen is very tall and weighs around 100 kg. So he flies at the load limit and also the forward CG limit. Earlier, he used to fly with the small tail ballast weight (2.3 kg), mainly to facilitate spinning, but now he recommends even for heavy pilots not to. In his opinion, the B4 handles better with a forward CG.

  • Fédération Aéronautique Internationale Fai Aresti Aerobatic Catalogue
    FÉDÉRATION AÉRONAUTIQUE INTERNATIONALE FAI ARESTI AEROBATIC CATALOGUE Dedicated to the aerobatic pioneer and former President of CIVA, Jose Luis Aresti of Spain who worked for years to develop the catalogue of aerobatic figures, which became the basis of classical aerobatic competition. Adopted by the FAI Aerobatics Commission (CIVA), 1987 Version 2003-1 © Copyright 2002 Federation Aeronautique Internationale Total or partial reproduction is forbidden without the written consent of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale FAI ARESTI AEROBATIC CATALOGUE INTRODUCTION To all who use this new aerobatic catalogue in the name of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, I wish joyous flying and great good luck with success in competitions. The aerobatic discipline is one of the FAI’s earliest aeronautical endeavours. This new book, based on the great Spanish aerobatist Colonel Aresti’s original concepts, now reflects the best possible input from the top people in the sport and its premier FAI administrations in the world. To quote a saying often heard in my own country, “The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance”, this sums up the FAI attitude toward aerobatic pilots – so keep it safe and do not open areas for government and other authority to impose restrictions on us in this adventurous but essentially safe sport. Again, great success to all who use this book and operate under the FAI aegis. G. A. Lloyd President Federation Aeronautique Internationale Sydney, Australia December 1987 The sport of competition aerobatics, under the banner of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, brings men and women together in spirited contests to pit their skills against each other in their attempts to fly the perfect aerobatic sequence.

  • Maneuver Descriptions
    2017-2018 Senior Pattern Association Section III Maneuver Descriptions NOTE: MANEUVER DESCRIPTIONS THAT FOLLOW ARE TAKEN VERBATIM FROM THE APPROPRIATE AMA RULE BOOKS FROM WHICH THE MANEUVERS WERE TAKEN. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS FOR THE SQUARE HORIZONTAL EIGHT, FOR WHICH EVERY APPEARANCE IN THE AMA RULE BOOK ENDED AS AN INCOMPLETE DESCRIPTION. THE SPA BOARD HAS CREATED WHAT WE THINK WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE ENDING, WHICH IS SHOWN ON PAGE 34 IN ITALICS. Anatomy of an SPA Maneuver by Phil Spelt, SPA 177, AMA 1294 SPA pilots are flying what is called “Precision Aerobatics,” in the official AMA publications” -- the old-time way (pre turnaround). The emphasis in that name is on the word “Precision.” That means pilots are supposed to display precise control of their aircraft in front of the judges. This precision should, ideally, be shown from the moment the plane is placed on the runway until it stops at the end of the landing rollout. Technically, the judges are only supposed to “judge” during the actual maneuvers, but they will notice either wild or tame turnarounds – whether deliberately or accidentally. An SPA maneuver consists of five sections, which can be viewed as an onion sliced through the middle vertically – so there are 2 pairs of layers, or parts, surrounding the actual maneuver in the center, as illustrated. The outer pair (sections 1 and 5) comprises the “free flight” area, which is used to turn the aircraft around and get it lined up to enter the next maneuver. Most pilots use a Split-S maneuver for the turnaround, thus maintaining the track of the plane at the distance from the runway at which the maneuvers are performed.

  • Radio Control Precision Aerobatics Rule Book 2018 - 19
    RADIO CONTROL PRECISION AEROBATICS RULE BOOK 2018 - 19 Forward The Radio Control Precision Aerobatics rulebook has been updated to reflect changes made to the rules by both FAI (found at www.fai.org/fai-documents) and the Precision Aerobatics Committee. This is the official document governing Precision Aerobatics in Canada. The intent to any set of rules is to have a pre-determined guideline by which you can attend an event and reasonably know what to expect. If the rules are such that they are unreasonable or unmanageable then there is a pre-determined path to change or update those rules to reflect what the group of persons who utilize them needs. The content of this rulebook is only as effective as the ability and dedication of its users to understand and apply its regulations. It is not perfect, but it should reflect the actual practice of Radio Control Model Aerobatics in Canada. Should you have any questions or suggestions to enhance the rules or the book, contact your local committee member or the Chairman.
