G3.5 Freestyle ideas

whaturi · 03-02-2008, 12:33 AM

I flew IMAC last year and forced myseld to fly freestyle at two events. I was pretty nervous and not very well prepared, and the results were not so great. I have heard that a good freestyle should be as memorized as a known IMAC sequence, so here I go. I have been playing around with different music and routines all winter, but you can only go so far on the sim. I think I like this one, but again, the sim is a little misleading, and I actually think the plane I am building would show up better.. it's the 3M comp arf extra in my avatar. Also, I feel like I could use a bit more of the airspace, like going higher, but the sim doesn't let yo do that very well. Feedback would be appreciated. I did my best to sync it up, but there are a few blips here and there, because I am using the free download of Fraps and that is 30 seconds at a time only. Then I have to splice them all together.

Anyone else with their own Freestyle either on video or the damn sim is welcome to post it here as well. I know the Freestyle is kind of getting pushed under the rug, but I think it is fun and I hope it gets popular again at contests like it seems to have been a few years ago.

What was with that other Yak doin the Yuk?

Yeah, since I had to keep pressing the spacebar to restart the Fraps program every 30 seconds, the space bar also reloads the airplane. I did not have my transmitter plugged in at the time, so it went nuts every 30 seconds. Either that, or it was part of the routine.

looks good vince. i would post my freestyle from the sim but as you have mentioned it is a pain in the a$$ to match the music to your sim flight

.

I am so ready to go out with a REAL plane and put something together. Winter is tough.

Neil4 · 03-03-2008, 07:49 PM

tell me about. Hey, I will send you some pics of my Dalton. I got my graphics from Kirby's Custom and put them on the plane. All I can say is it looks sweet

Also, let me know when your 40% is done so we can fly together because it looks like the weather is getting warmer, or at least i hope so.

Looks like it will be done and ready this weekend. Just a little wireing left to do, then take it out and start trimming.
