I am an FAA flight instructor and I teach partime in Hickory, North Carolina (KHKY). I own a 1973 Cessna Aerobat (N6146F) that I use to train students and pilots for Stalls, Spins and Unusual Attitude Recoveries; I also teach basic Aerobatic Maneuvers that will help pilots build more confidence when flying.
