Default Good aerobatics video??

Franks video is okay, but not great. It covers the basics of his set-up for a Carden 35% CAP, and then shows him doing some 3D manuevers. I've not seen Jasons, but heard it's better. The Ballet of the Skies and TOC videos are inspirational (there's some awesome fliers out there!), but they don't cover set-ups nor how to do the manuevers. Dave Patrick use to have a group of 3 videos called "Wring it Out!", which covering Basics, Advanced & Hot Dogging Manuevers, but not 3D. They were great at covering how to do the manuevers, and reviewed plane set-up before they went through each manuever in detail & slow motion on the sticks. Prop Wash might have them available, or know where to find them. I still think the best advice is to get out & find someone that's doing what you want to do, take your plane, and talk to them. If there's no one in your club, try making a road trip to a contest or fun-fly.
