Product Description

Precision Aerobatics is an invaluable reference for those seeking to quickly advance their flying skills and serves as an excellent guide for instructor-coaches. This book helps sport pilots build into their flights the natural progression of refinements required to take flying to a whole new level of quality and satisfaction. With nearly half its content addressing the proper uses of Rudder to prevail over Wind and engine torque, this manual will provide an immediate and significant boost for flyers of all skill levels. Rather than another rehash of the maneuvers, Precision Aerobatics serves as a flight training system. Hundreds of detailed illustrations with matching control stick positions guide advancing flyers step by step through each phase of learning to fly better maneuvers, while special features help pilots bypass common mistakes and enhance practice effectiveness by focusing the pilot's attention on controlling what the airplane does instead of reacting to it. Maneuvers taught include: Horizontal rolls - consecutive rolls - 4-point hesitation rolls - round loops - Immelmanns - split S - Cuban 8 - reverse Cuban 8 - All with appropriate rudder and throttle adjustments.

Review
I just received the Precision training manual and I can't put it down. This is excellent!!! It is just what I need to get me off that plateau I'm stuck on. Tim Karash. Isanti, MN --Tim Karash

I know quality when I see it and really enjoy telling my readers about good stuff. 1st U.S. R/C Flight School has written an educational and much needed Intermediate (Precision) Aerobatics flight-training manual. Professionally written, the graphics are as large as the pages, and the text is easy to read. Based on reading the book and going out and trying the directions, I can tell you that it contains great advice. I recommend that you use the book with a friend. Working in pairs, you could coach each other through a whole series of improvements in your flying. Eric Henderson. Model Aviation --Eric Henderson

The books are brilliant. I wish I had them to start off with 6 months ago as I would have understood with more clarity what I was doing wrong. The books make things very simple to understand and progress at a very steady rate. Stephen Colclough. Queensland, Australia --Stephen Colclough

About the Author
Dave Scott grew up in Oshkosh Wisconsin - home of the Experimental Aircraft Association and world s largest sport aviation convention and airshow. He began flying R/C at the age of 9 and has accumulated over 10,000 hours of R/C flying experience. He has worked in the development of several full-scale aircraft and has designed nearly 50 radio control planes. He is also a licensed pilot and active full-scale aerobatic competitor. Dave founded 1st U.S. R/C Flight School and has professionally trained more than 1200 pilots. His accelerated R/C flight training programs have resulted in 98% of all his Primary students trained achieving Solo in less than a week, and 100% of all his Aerobatic students achieving in only days what traditionally takes years. Dave is deeply influenced by his experiences with full-scale aircraft and believes that model airplanes should be flown and instructed with the same professionalism and realism. When he isn't instructing, competing, or writing his latest book, Dave thrills crowds with exciting R/C aerobatic demonstrations at full-scale airshows and large R/C events.
