This is the latest spiral-bound book that I'm working on, and it will have illustrated, step-by-step instructions to perfecting fundamental aerobatic maneuvers, from loops to the avalanche! Today I hope to (no, I WILL!) wrap it up and send it to the next step in the process, copyediting. From there it will go to the art department with the illustrations and photos and -- voila! -- it comes back from the printer as a book, well in time to make a perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays. Any other spiral-bound flightline books you'd like to see and use? Just say the word!
