A New Chapter for Kentucky!

by, Chris Napier, IAC 27101

A great many pilots (and non-pilots too) have more than a passing interest in aerobatics. Some were in the military and engaged in basic aerobatics during training, but never thought they would see it again.

Perhaps you’re a new pilot anxious to explore the sky in three dimensions, as God intended. Maybe you’re an experienced pilot who sacrificed flying aerobatics to further your career. Or, you may be one of many with no aspiration to fly a plane but love to watch the planes and pilots practice their skills.

The four California IAC Chapters that host regional contests (26, 36, 38, 49) collectively award trophies to the winners of the point series for each contest season. There were four California contests in the 2022 season. Each contest pays five dollars per competing pilot into a fund to pay for the trophies. The responsibility for obtaining and presenting the trophies rotates to each of these chapters once every four years. The trophies are usually awarded at the responsible chapter’s regional contest the following season.

Throughout the tech tips manuals (Volumes 1-4), there is an excellent series of articles on spins, spin aerodynamics, spin recoveries, and the development of the Beggs-Mueller spin recovery technique. IAC member and Chair of the IT Tech Committee Tom Myers has identified some of those articles as well as others from Sport Aerobatics which were published after the technical tip manuals were assembled for your reading pleasure.
