The basic elements of all the aerobatics seen today were evolved by the early aviators at the time of the First World War, when they were a matter of survival in air combat.
Today aerobatics is a fiercely competitive sport between pilots and aircraft from across the world, performed before the most demanding judges.
In displays, just as in competition, emphasis is on the precision of manoeuvres, starting with the basic loops and rolls and developing more advanced combinations.
The delightful Mudry CAP 10B and vintage Zlin Z526 give smooth and immaculate demonstrations of all the classic aerobatic manoeuvres. The aircraft are of sufficient size and pace to allow spectators to appreciate easily the shape of the aerobatics presented.
Pilots of Avia Special have flown displays in these types of aircraft in the UK and Europe with great success for the last 30 years.
At regular airshows or at corporate events a display performance by the CAP 10 or the Zlin can complement the opportunity for spectators or guests to enjoy a flight themselves.
