Greetings all, I finally got back on NEWS. Since my company shut down
our NEWS access ive had to survive with only the IAC email exploder!

Anyway, on the subject of slow rolls. What beginning aerobatic
pilots have
to understand is that aeroatics is like learning to play a musical
instrument.
It takes 100s and 100s or 1000s of hours of practice to make a
plane look
as good as the top guys/gals do.

To give you and example: I now have about 300hrs or real hard
aerobatic
experience. I can do a really really pretty slow roll/point
roll/combination
rolls etc. .... to the left ;)

Ask me to do them to the right and I bobble around
horribly....guess
its another 300hrs of rolling practice to the right for me!

Im sort of at the point now that I can start to do a rolling turn
....
to the left ... badly...

Anyway, practice practice practice ... there is no other secret.

Peter Ashwood-Smith
