MASTER THE FIGURE-M
If you want to become the best aerobatic pilot possible, you need to master key maneuvers by taking small steps. First, make sure you’re proficient in performing maneuvers like inverted flight, vertical and horizontal rolls, inside and outside loops and stall turns. You can then perform these moves in sequences to create show-stopping routines. This month, I’ll highlight a precision maneuver called the Figure-M, which incorporates two stall turns with a little twist. Without further hesitation, let’s get started!

HALF CUBAN-8 WITH NEGATIVE SNAP ROLLS
In the past, we’ve discussed different aerobatic moves that consist of endless variations of a basic maneuver. For this article, let’s look at a variation of the basic Cuban-8, this time making it a half Cuban-8 with one-and-a-half negative snap rolls. The half Cuban-8 is usually performed with a half roll on the downline, but to spice things up we’ll replace the roll with more impressive one-and-a-half negative snap rolls (starting inverted and ending up upright).
