Fly IMAC. It really brings out the pilot in you and brings out your own flying style.

Re: How can my flight routines not just look like flyin around
Try not to just do plain turns. Just do half cubans, immelmanns or split s's or even 180 deg rollers. Just be continuously doing something. Also, like the guys said on here - try IMAC.

Re: How can my flight routines not just look like flyin around
I always map out the flight in my head before take off. That helps me, plus learning the Imac helps, I think also that how long you fly makes a difference. I can fly everything I know in a 4 min flight. So I will mix My 3d with Imac and get a good 8 to 10 min flight. So I say watch your time so you dont catch your self saying well what do I do Next.

How do I read the routines once I print them out and take them to the field. What are the symbols. I want to fly IMAC routines at the field beforehand to gain the advantage. Any suggestions?

I big thing to work on is flying a box, ie parallel with the runway and 90 degrees to it and a few 45 degree passes, just dont fly any which way. Makes it look much better from the ground. And as seth said always be doing something not just straight and level flight

Theres many ways to practice routines at the field after u print them off. I always fly them on the sim to get them into my head and know them by heart bc i fly alot alone. Another way is to have someone call for u while ur flying. As far as learning the symbols the book "rc aerobatics" is pretty good, goes through all the basic stuff step by step. Forget who wrote it off the top of my head been awhile since ive looked at it.
