Please join IAC and the aerobatic community is helping to save lives!  TechWatch, a new web based forum, is in place to help all aerobatic pilots, mechanics and manufacturers share information throughout the aviation community that may help others to recognize hazards or dangerous conditions that may arise with different aircraft.  Please join TechWatch, or just browse as a guest, and share the information we all need to fly safely.  The TechWatch site is http://www.usnationalaerobatics.org/iacsafetyforum/. …
