Other Topics Flying Skills-Sport Basic Aerobatics By Gene Szurovy & Mike Goulian 255 pages  $22.95 The most requested aerobatic book by author Gene Szurovy.   11 Basic manuevers are covered, each with subsections entitled Understanding It, Flying It, Common Errors, If Things Go Wrong.  Following each chapter are diagrams showing the manuever from outside the aircraft and photos showing the manuever from the pilot's in-cockpit point of view.  Although most of the photos and some of text revolve around a Sukhoi 29 aerobatic aircraft, care is taken in the book to offer generic instructions valid for most aerobatically capable aircraft and not just exclusively for the Sukhoi.   (By contrast, the other Basic Aerobatics book by William Kershner is based around a Cessna Aerobat.)     TABLE OF CONTENTS Getting Started                               1 Loads & Limits                               13 Preflight & Airborne Preparation             36 Stalls                                       41 Aileron Rolls                                49 Slow Rolls                                   57 Inverted Flights                             69 Loops                                        78 Half Loops                                   91 The Immelmann                                95 The Cuban Eight                             106 The Reverse Cuban Eight                     113 The Hammerhead                              120 Spins                                       131 Advanced Manuevers                          144     snap rolls     outside snap rolls     tailslides     outside loops     inverted spins     vertical rolls     knife-edge flight     hesitation rolls     square loops     rolling circles     gyroscopic maneuvers Recreational Aerobatics                     164 Competition Aerobatics                      173 Airshow Display Aerobatics                  193 Buying an Aerobatic Aircraft                202 Ten Hour Aerobatic Course                   234 Five Hour Aerobatic Course                  240
