Should you have an 'interesting' aerobatic, tailwheel, vintage or warbird, single engine piston, then I may be able to help with your conversion to type.

Aerobatic Instruction

Aerobatics is the true art of flight and is the reason why I learnt to fly. I gained my aerobatic instructors rating in 1981 and can see no other form of aviation that can compare.
I enjoy passing on the techniques of each manoeuvre to those that aspire to wanting to fully understand what is happening and why through every phase of the flight. I have also coached pilots wishing to gain their Display Authorisation. The teaching of aerobatics progresses and naturally springs from completing type conversions on such aircraft as the Yak 52. Should you have an aerobatic aircraft and wish to learn fully about aerobatics then perhaps you might consider contacting me.
