benjamin freelove aerobatics
Ben has been drawn to the art of the flying machine his entire life.
A move to sunny California from the midwest in 2001 allowed Ben to pursue a career in aerobatic flying. A popular SF Bay Area instructor for several years, Ben was recruited as an instructor at Sean D. Tucker's flight school, the Tutima Academy of Aviation Safety.
Ben is known for his relentless pursuit of aerobatic technical knowledge. Ben has conducted research into all aspects of aerobatic flight, from control technique to aircraft setup and performance.
Ben was a member of the highly acclaimed Collaborators formation aerobatic team. The Collaborators flew their demanding performance at many of the largest US airshows from 2007 - 2009.
An active aerobatic competitor for over twelve years, Ben is a member of the US Unlimited Aerobatic team.
Currently Ben is directing his technical craft towards the Red Bull Air Race, working as race engineer for Team Muroya from Japan
Since beginning aerobatic training in 1999 Ben has been dedicated to becoming a complete student of the craft, researching all technical disciplines of aerobatic flight.
Some of the highlights of Ben's research include:
7 year independent study on autorotation - snap roll and spin technique
Detailed mathmatical comparison of stability and control systems of all top Unlimited category monoplanes
Two dimensional airfoil comparison for Unlimted monoplanes
Complete analysis of loop physics and radius technique including wind correction
Designed spreadsheet-based tools for aircraft rotation analysis and aileron spade design
