Please, please, please can somebody help me? I'm returning to South Africa in May (from the UK - I did my PPL in SA) with the intention of doing some aerobatics training and a tailwheel conversion, but I can't seem to find anyone in the Gauteng region (or anywhere in the country for that matter) who offers aerobatics training, despite phoning and emailing all the flying schools I can find details for.. .. .The situation seems to be that all the aerobatic aircraft are owned by people who aren't instructing, and any aerobatics instructors don't have access to an aircraft. This begs the question "how on earth does anybody in SA learn aerobatics, short of joining the SAAF"?? Surely there must be somebody who can instruct me in this area - there are so many proficient aerobatics competitors in SA I find it hard to believe that there's no instruction offered.. .. .Any information would be greatly appreciated!!! . .. .Thanks in advance.... .. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .AB. . . . <small>[ 26 March 2002, 16:52: Message edited by: AeroBatfink ]</small>
