A different way of presenting aerobatics than Duane Cole's Roll Around A Point. Kerschner goes into considerably more depth in describing the details of each manuever while offering drawings of how each manuever looks from the ground and also each phase of it from inside the cockpit. Kershner emphasizes techniques with a Cessna Aerobat and highlights entry speeds for it, however also emphasizes that the basic skills are perspectives are identical to all similar single engine light planes. As with all aerobatic books, it is also emphasized throughout that these books are to be used in conjunction with actual dual aerobatic instruction, not instead of.
