yep, good to have a mentor. Some good reading free online eg http://www.cfidarren.com/reading.htm and http://www.whittsflying.com/web/index.htm I just do spins, aeros and UPRT these days so SAFE plus seeing how Rich Stowell does stuff.

That issue of the magazine just arrived today so will look at it later. Interesting to read the notes on the S-2C as I just bought one. Formerly N121C.

I'm on my second Decathlon ...

Looks neat, some interest amongst my friends in Australia.

Pete seems to be enjoying it.

Saw a 152 recently so turned the yoke to 90 deg and got full deflection then found that applying more pressure would turn the yoke more with nil change in aileron deflection.

Some years ago I taught aerobatics in 150 and 152 Aerobats. Very occasionally I would observe a student get the yoke all the way round to about 180 deg while doing a roll. Afterwards on the ground I would get him to give it full aileron deflection and then discuss - 90 deg gets full aileron...

I haven't flown a Great Lakes but you will like the Super D. And the Pitts ... The Australian $ is way down now so a good time to visit for a holiday and learn aerobatics hear.

I hope to try it out in the air before long in my local box near YMMB and later at the competition box at the former USAF base McIntyre Field at YTOC

A Pitts S-1, some CAP 10s and a Laser spring to mind.

Met him at Coldstream about 15 years ago, he had a Decathlon, haven't seen him for ages.

I am here. Lived in WY for a few years. Home is Melbourne and aerobatics is what I do. Regards, Dave P.

First question is whether it stalls and spins OK, both directions. If so, then wing rigging is probably OK but, as RoscoeT suggests, checking the behaviour without spades and the wing rigging is always the place to start. Not sure what pilotpje means about "flies to the right"? You mean: let...

I had that problem with my '79 Decathlon with some headsets. Cleaning the plugs helped. Putting a ferrite core around the lead of my headset fixed it. Trading up to a newer Super D fixed all the problems. I admit to being a dinosaur as I still use my DC that I bought 30 years ago.

I hate rollercoasters too, only ever done it once on http://lunapark.com.au/Rides/the-great-scenic-railway/ Been flying aerobatics for the last 45 years and teaching it for the last 20 years. WARNING: Aerobatics is addictive!

Warning, this is addictive. You will like the 8KCAB even more. And perhaps a Pitts even more (friend of mine with a similar leg flew a Pitts for many years).

Give the master a call - Bill Finagin in Annapolis.

Tiger Moth (one wing is low), Chipmunk, Zlin 526 .......

An oldie but a goodie.
