[Tim Hancock]

Presently, I only have about 10hrs of mainly dual time doing mostly mild aerobatics in a Pitts S2A & S2B, Christen Eagle and a Decathalon
(Spins, loops, rolls, inverted flight and hammerheads). I am building a fairly hardcore aerobatic plane.

I find that as I only do it sporadically, I sometimes feel a little queasy after about 20 minutes, especially if the other experienced pilot has been at the controls much. I will be OK, but some people have a problem with motion sickness that may not ever go away even with experience.

I have been into all kinds of "crazy hobbies" (water and snow skiing, autocross, go-cart racing, motocross, BMX, snowmobiling, flying etc etc) and other than motocross racing, none have felt as exhilarating as aerobatics.

That said, I really have to watch myself because unlike many of the other hobbies, aerobatics can kill you in a split second. I unfortunately am the type of person who loves to do a high speed low pass with a hard pull and bank at the end. This type of personality is not a safe match with aerobatics if you want to stay alive for long.

If you get into it, stay high always (I will always have to remind myself of this very important rule). The low altitude "cool" stuff you see at airshows is extremely dangerous and these guys are pros yet unfortunately quite a few still end up dead.
