Since our = Lancairs are more challenging when slowed, I believe you get a valuable = perspective from the proficiency gained by flying in all corners of the = envelope in an aerobatic airplane. It will give a stronger respect as to = why our IV's should never get near stall. It will also engrain the = proper control response should a pilot make the mistake of getting near = a departure stall in a Lancair. Just make sure you don't try any of the = maneuvers you learn in the IV. I was one of those guys who got sick initially but elected to stay with = it. I now have over 300 hours of acro and believe it keeps me safer and = has kept me more interested in flying. It also humbles you since you can = see your proficiency decay if you lay off just a few weeks..... keeps = you coming back. The main safety gain is the training that allows you to = not get disoriented...... there is no longer an unusual attitude so you = can fly out of or recover from any aircraft position. Besides...... Acro is fun stuff.

I've been getting the itch to do = something different. Anyone have advice
about taking helicopter = lessons? There's a Bell 47 trainer nearby with a
small flight = school.

Perhaps our Lancair family can render comment (either = way).
