5.0 out of 5 stars GliderAerobatics.com highly recommends this book, 22 Nov 2003
.
This extreme fringe of the sport is becoming increasingly popular as more and more glider pilots seek a greater challenge from their flying. This excellent book is designed to complement aerobatics instruction and is certainly not intended to replace it. However, when you realise that glider aerobatics practice in the UK costs £360/hour, a book that helps you learn faster is a great investment!

Glider aerobatics is what you want it to be. You may only want to fly the occasional loop. However, good training (like this book) will make progress so natural you will suddenly realise that you can now fly aerobatics that you had once considered far beyond your ability. Glider aerobatics is an empowering experience, and buying this book is the start of your adventure. No glider pilot should be without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST reading for every soaring pilot, 13 Nov 2000
By kaido@emt.ee (Tallinn, Estonia) - See all my reviews
As I ordered this book, it was my second soaring book at all. I did not expected so well written, illustrated and structured handbook to be written on that subject. Therefore I was very positively surprised, as I got the book.

I personally think, that this is the obligatory book for every soaring pilot. It gives to the pilot through explanations about the limits of one's glider and greatly improves awareness about everything, what can happen to the airplane while airborne. Practicing aerobatics improves pilot's skill and discipline, but even without practicing aerobatics, the book will give to the pilot much better possibility to survive in unexpected situations.
