Additional Comments
I was re introduced to acro in Sydney Australia in 1999 with Sydney Aerobatics and their Robins, Pitts S2A's and of course the Sia Marchetti. I bought into a partnership with a S2A, I went to Budd Davison to learn the finer points of flying a Pitts. The master! I flew her and instructed in her for 5 years. I did a few competitions but never really enjoyed them that much. I'd prefer to get a new pilot landing a Pitts and having fun, safely. Then hand them over to an acro exert for coaching! I have also taught bush flying, ski flying and conversions in airplane with tail wheels. It has almost killed me! The enjoyment keeps me coming back for more!
