As the South France aerobatic championships took place in the local airfield where I live, I got the chance to fly once again in the lovely Cap 10 after 2 years without flying the beast.
What a joy to be strapped in her, undertaking +4.5/-2.5 G's doing loops, snap rolls, spins, stall turns, negative spins, inverted turns, ...
We also had the chance to watch a demo of World champion Renaud Ecalle and above all had some great fun with the other pilots.

AWESOME PHOTOS, WOW!! Looks a fantastic aircraft to fly. Maybe I will have another go at aerobatics next (Southern Hemisphere) Summer. Inspiring, mate!!

I learnt (mostly) and did my licence test on the Alpha 160 (our club has three - all aerobatic certified) - have had some demos of aerobatics and tried to give it a go last year but had 4 sessions cancelled in a row due weather and gave up to do my Cherokee rating (nice, almost new Archer III was too tempting!!)
I'm guessing Renauld (sadly missed) was flying F-HDPP? It's owner trains at my airfield.
