Where does everyone learn how to do all those great 3D maneuvers like Alpha Rolls, Rolling loops etc.? Is there a class I missed in High School?

I get lessons from the VooDoo school of rolling lawn mowers,, I have graduated to tall weeds and shrubs.

Next is the class labeled "Shoyt's rudder abuse,101"

Watch some of the learning 3D vids BoneDoc did at RCG

hang out with other pilots that love 3D and will challenge you to do it lower!

Start with a sim then burn alot of fuel

Purchased a Mojo 40 profile and threw a YS60 on it just for this reason. Not only is it my favorite plane to hate on it also loves the abuse! Foamies, foam safe CA, and kicker also come in handy. Foamies are great for being able to put in those quick flights before work and flying under the parking lot lights in the middle of the night.

Moral of the story..... Practice, Practice, Practice!

If your stuck at work with a computer monitor staring you in the face here are some videos to kill the time till you can go back out and practice some more. http://www.3dhobbyshop.com/HowToFly3DVids.htm

Or you can come to my school. You will really know how to get low then

Extra nuts · 10-14-2009, 10:04 AM

Foamies are good to practice with. I learned with a foamie, started up higher and tried getting lower each flight, even if just a little bit. I worked on setting up into a hover even if only for a few seconds, then learned to walk it around with the elev and rudder. It takes months of practice to really get good and confident..

practice one manuever at a time untill you get it then move on to another then another, you get the idea. Practice flying upside down too and get a feel for the rudder. Dont get mad when you crash or screw up cause eceryone does. Just paractice alot.

If you want it bad enough, you will do whatever it takes!!!
