Hey guys,
I have a lot of time doing Glider Aerobatics (Spins and essentially Sportsman) but have never really flow in a competition. I have had my PPL for two years and was interested in switching over to aerobatics in powered and competing. I have a couple questions.
How much time will it take to transition to tailwheel? I have 150+ hours in gliders and ~100 hours powered.
How different is powered aerobatics than gliders? I wouldn't think it would be too hard you just have to account for P-Factor?
How much time do you think it would take to learn Sportsman and possibly Intermediate level acro?
Speaking of going to actual Comps (down the road) would it be easier(or cheaper long term) to go in Powered or Rent and trailer a glider?
Figured I'd put the Thread in this forum because Glider guys are more likely to have both than powered dudes.
