To enter competitions you first need to be a member of the BAeA (see link last post). Competitions take place approx. monthly throughout the summer - next one is at Breighton, Yorks on 7/8 June. You can start at Beginners level in a Cessna Aerobat or similar, which will get you to Standard level but much beyond that and you'll need something a bit more capable. The best way to learn about competitions is to come along and see one, spectating is free as is your first beginners comp. I entered my first last month and had a great time - see you at Breighton
