Default RC Aerobatics with Don Szczur - Need answers get the DVD!

I thought it would be appropriate to feature one of the most technically detailed R/C aerobatic DVD's available on the market.

"RC Aerobatics with Don Szczur"

This is a two DVD set that covers everything from airplane set-up to flying IMAC sequences.

DVD 1:
Servo testing on control surfaces

Using control throw meters

Introduction to trimming

Discussion of aerodynamics- center of gravity vs center of lift

Trimming uplines, downlines and manevering

Contol mixes for perfect aircraft response and reduced pilot workload

Rudder trim for 3D (and spin entries)

Starting procedures for DA 150 and check for idle mixture

In-flight detailed steps to trimming

In flight maneuvers to include snap rolls (positive and negative)

Performing a hammer head with high rate rudder

3D maneuver building blocks (Blender, Harriers, Torque Roll, Knife Edge, Rolling Harriers)


DVD 2

Rolling Harrier (further explained with transmitter stick movements)
How to learn a sequence (e.g., unknowns)

Discussion of precision maneuvers

Flight video of a competition IMAC sequence

Everyone that I know of that owns this DVD series has said the following to me:

a) It is the best instructional video they have ever seen
b) It's worth the money (x 10)
c) As DVD's go, it is very professionally put together.
D) It is a must have.

So if you have a chance, give Don's website an eyeball, or better yet, pick up one of the DVD's.
You may think your good, but there is nothing wrong with trying to be better!

To purchase the DVD or for more info go to: http://www.rcaerobaticvideo.com/



Check out the Trailer!

Pulled the trigger on that one. I need all the help I can get as you could see from my flying at Toledo.

I bought the video about a year ago. It's done very well and I learned a lot from it. Well worth the money!
