“I first flew unusual attitudes in 1976 with Bill Hershner,” said Stan Moye. “I liked the challenge of aerobatics. The reward when you meet that challenge, learning new skills, the discipline and thew reward when you improve.”
Enjoy this video with Stan who will encourage you to get into aerobatics. “You can do it,” he said. “The IAC has a lot of people that will encourage you, help you and give you pointers.”

Charlie Sikes, IAC 437399 started flying competition in the southeast region in 2014 in the Sportsman category flying Gary Ward’s Giles G-202. “It is important to have a mentor and access and support of the IAC members when you first get started in aerobatics,” said Charlie.
He flew a 1971 Aviat Pitts S2-A for a bit in Sportsman. The airplane is now used by Middle Georgia State University. Charlie and other IAC chapter 3 members are mentoring students at the college. “It is very rewarding to be in a position where I was once mentored myself and now am able to pay it forward.”

"Advice I'd give a new person just starting out; right away find a coach, "said Corey. "You need a mentor to critique you to make sure you are not just flopping around out there. Because when you go, it's all about precision and if you didn't have someone critiquing you and telling you how to do things properly, you're never going to progress".

Travis Pauly IAC#441665 says, "Conquering a fear and learning a new skill. Ever since I started my training I was nervous doing stalls because of the dreaded spin. I heard how easy they were to get into and how they could be deadly if you didn't know how (or didn't have the space) to get out. I read up on spin recovery, but never having done one in my training, I didn't know if I had what it took to properly recover.
I flew for years being nervous when I would practice stalls. I wouldn't look outside, I would be locked on the slip indicator ball to ensure my stalls would break straight. Even when I started doing mild aerobatics, I was still afraid of spins. I could hold a plan e inverted for a minute, but I had never done a spin because I let fear get in the way.
So the other day, I told myself I had to get over it; I NEEDED to know how to safely recover from a spin. I read the same books and watched the same videos I had before just to refresh, and I took off. On the same flight as my first spin I did so many I figured out how to stop them on a desired heading, which is what you see in the video. Now I love spins, and I'm a more experienced, safer pilot. All because I faced my fear, and learned a new skill." https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4GADChQke/
