I'm still getting familiar with the airplane, but plan to start aerobatic instruction in it very soon. Since I don't have any formal aerobatic training (though I have done acro in the Yak with competent pilots), I thought a good book on the subject might help me get more from my instruction (and give me something to do on those long commercial flights I seem to find myself on). Can anyone recommend a good book on acro? One aimed at the Yak (or similar airplane) instead of a 150 or Citabria would be nice. Oh - my primary interest is having fun and not killing myself - so I want to know all the ways things can go wrong and how to recover. BTW - my "other" airplane is a Mooney 231 - which I have close to 1,000 hours in. Great airplane, but unless I have somewhere to go, I tend not to fly it. Thanks!

One is available in the RPA store. If this is the same book as the original translated book, the last half of the book will discuss aerobatics as it pertains to the YAK-52. In the original translation, entry, over the top, and recovery speeds are in kilometers. Any book on aerobatic terminology will help you understand the maneuvers but the YAK manual will give you the correct speeds to safely perform the maneuver. Spending time with someone that has been trained in the YAK doing acrobatics is preferable to just having the run of the mill CFI with aerobatic training but no YAK experience is not going to help much.
