  1. You can do aerobatics in your own plane, but i would recommend a pilot's license and some aerobatic training first. The training isn't a requirement, but it shouldn't take long (just a flight or two) and it'll make you way more comfortable and confident. If you want rules of the air, you should get a FAR-AIM. It's the FAA regulations for pilots. As for planes, I wouldn't recommend a Cessna or Piper if you're serious about aerobatics. You can get an older Citabria for around 30,000 dollars. Maybe cheaper. It's a tube and fabric plane and a taildragger, but it's certified for limited aerobatics. A Decathalon is fully aerobatic, which means it can actually fly upside down for longer than a few seconds. But it's quite a bit pricier.


  2. just enjoy it, but don't do stupid things or impossible things because of your curiosity, coz u might get hurt...why dont search for it in the internet...i'm sure it's very expensive unless u buy airplane toys hahahahah!!!!i'm sure u can buy one...

  3. The cheapest planes to buy would probably be a Cessna or a Piper trainer.  What can you do?  that all depends on what the airplane you own is limited to.  most trainers are not certified to fly upside down, or do most other stunts.  You can by an airplane certified to do aerobatics, but then that would cost you a lot more money.

  4. You can do anything the operating handbook for that aircraft says you can do. Operating outside of that is usually a violation of the FARs. If you want to do stunts in your own plane, save a couple hundred thousand and buy an aerobatic plane. If you want to buy something less expensive think about a used Cessna 152/172.

    If you just want to fly inverted and do stunts, take some lessons with a qualified aerobatic instructor and tell him/her you want to do some aerobatics. If you like it and don't get violently ill, take more lessons until you get your license and the required training for aerobatic aircraft.

    Total costs for just the training to get your license could be anywhere from $4500 for a basic license if you're REALLY good to $"how much have you got"?

    Remember: Airplanes and instructors run on dollars.

  5. first you would have to get your lisenece for flying. Then I would not suggest doing and arial tricks. The best plane to buy  for stunts is an Extra 3000. It is very maneverable, but it is on the pricy side. Plus you need to maintain it. If you were to buy a plane I would just get myself a cesena or a piper.

  6. dont u think its way too costly for stunts in air ??? is it needed??..

  7. well i can tell u one thing....U wont have to go past security and wait forever in an airport to fly lol

  8. If you can buy it you can fly it. A Pitts S2B can be had for around 70 large. At one time it was the best aerobatic plane and now they're a bargain.

  9. You can do basically anything in the air once you own your own plane whether or not you are a pilot. If you are a pilot it will be cheaper to do  "what you want".

    The cheapest planes to buy? well for training that would be a cessna 152, if you are a pilot and want to learn aerobatics, that would probably be a Decathlon or Citabria.

    Before stunts you want to become a proficient Private Pilot preferably Instrument Rated.

    Good Luck in your Aviation

  10. The best way is to get a pilot license first and accumulate the required flying experience. A stunt pilot requires a confidence level that comes either naturally or is built over the years. By acquiring the license you will also come to know the limitations of your personal aircraft and what you can do with it.  For cheap planes I suggest that you visit the Cessna site where you will get all details (including quotes & costs) about the new or used aircrafts... By the way, Hollywood actor John Travolta's neighbors have complained about him with the local administration so many times (that he flies so low, over their houses) that most of the times they have to replace their cracked window panes. So refrain yourself to do the same to your neighbors!!!

  11. Owning a plane is like owning a car--there are places to drive and there are places to fly. You file a flight plan before you take off--within so many miles of an airport you must be controlled by the tower--and obey the rules to avoid collisions. far enough away you can do stunts but clearance is always required by radio. You can't do whatever you want because a plane is a  tough vehicle to keep in the air--one mistake and you are in trouble--and you could slam a house or a school or a roadway. Planes that are 2 or 4 seat and one engine are about 35000. Stunts can be done in any plane.

  12. Why not just figure out how you're going to pay for flight lessons first, before worrying about buying your own airplane.

  13. first of all do u know how to fly and have u got a passport haha,na dont know mate..
