Ben-
There's a description of most of the basic aerobatic figures at the International Aerobatic Club Web site. Feel free to ask about any figures you don't see in there (or any you do, for that matter!).Andrew-
Good point about taking breaks. Now that you mention it, I remember that from the judges school I went to in March. Also, if I read my Red Book right, the boundary penalty in Primary is 0!
I do have a great bunch of pilots to learn from, especially since I joined IAC Ch. 52. And I'm glad to be getting dual instruction in the airplane. But I'm told that at some point (after 10 hours? 20 hours?), qualified critique from the ground, where the person can see if your loops are round, etc., is more effective than critique from the other seat.
