5.0 out of 5 stars Better Aerobatics, 8 Jun 2003

By	Mark Walden (the UK) - See all my reviews

At long last he`s done it! Having been nagged by many of us for some years, Alan Cassidy has finally committed to print what he has learnt from more than a decade's aerobatic coaching. Those of us who have benefited from his instruction are very familiar with Alan's lucid, articulate, and often entertaining style. Better Aerobatics is all this and much more. The book is a must whether novice or experienced aerobatic competitor, display pilot or instructor. It's a fairly weighty publication at close on 500 pages, but this is `no holds barred stuff`. You get the lot! From learning to develop basic co-ordination and handling skills, through to the intricacies of competing at Unlimited in a World Championship. No one in their right mind would deny that aerobatics can be a pretty dry subject. However, Alan manages to tiptoe the fine line between a detailed technical analysis of our sport, and light hearted anecdotal musings. For me it is his ability to find unique ways to illustrate his point that sets this book apart from the rest. Mueller may have made the first real attempt at a detailed analysis of aerobatic figures, but to date this publication is the final word.
(Mark Walden, British Advanced Aerobatic Champion 2002)

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want one book on aerobatics make it this one, 29 Sep 2004

By	Delta Juliet "david_g985" (UK) - See all my reviews

Over 300 pages of detailed information. Each chapter covers one manoeuvre starting with the basics and then getting deeper. If you are just starting out in aerobatics then the book provides excellent advice. As you get better you can read further in each chapter. I have read the book twice and now use it as a reference guide to analyse what mistakes I am making and how to do things better Amazingly Alan seems to cover all the mistakes I have made! He also covers the other aspects of aerobatics competition, preparation, positioning etc etc.

As the title says, it is for people who want to learn how to fly aerobatics. The non-pilot might find it a bit technical as Alans book focuses on what is needed to fly aerobatics manoeuvres and competitions well. It has hardly any history, anecdotes or 'war stories'. Neil Williams book might be a better read if this is what you are looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adrian Willis, 21 Feb 2008

By	A. R. Willis "Adrian Willis" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think I have read every aerobatic book in print. Better Aerobatics is unique in being complete from an aerodynamicist's point of view, Alan being a Cambridge Aeronautical engineering graduate and Wg Cdr Engineer, but more importantly is written by probably the best aerobatic instructor available. His practical experience permiates the book. As experience is gained, and the book re-read, it becomes even more valuable. In my experience this is an essential book for all aerobatic pilots. I suggest Amazon get more in stock soon!
