## Resource

Learning aerobatics imposes forces on the human body that are not familiar. And it requires some changes in how the airplane is handled. For instance, unless we’re intentionally slipping the airplane, we’re taught to “stay coordinated” and “keep the ball centered.” For one pilot, his method of keeping the ball centered during an aerobatic maneuver left him in a very unusual attitude — in a Stearman! How he recovered and what he learned is the story in today’s episode.
