Getting the fundamentals is the most important thing in pattern , and that will come with the repetition required to fly each class for a full year.

I am also very happy to see you over here. I want to get seriously into pattern next year and some tips from the master would really help me.

Chip - I'm curious...who builds you competition planes..you, ZN or a pro builder?

Can your DV3D be set up for entry level pattern (Novice, Sportsman)?

Since 1998, I have had every F3A plane built or at least finished by Dave Guerin, a Master Builder in N.C. His planes are second to none and his prices are very reasonable as well. (Yes I pay for them too!!)

For novice, I do believe, the DV would be legal at any weight because they removed the 11 pound limit a few years ago with the hopes of attracting some new people into pattern. What it needs to have done to it to be under 11 can be found at the FAQ section on my site.

It would be an incredible advantage to have in novice, because these actually go through all the manuevers much easier then the ones I flew at the worlds, and those flew great. The reason it feels even better I think is the wing loading at 13.5-14 pounds is closer to what might be the optimum for a plane with 1600+ sq. inches.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the MJ analogy, and as for the great Hanno Prettner, he is still denying my rematch request from 93. (Just Kidding) I have a huge amount of respect for that guy, and what he did. (He won every World Championship, and every TOC he flew in from 1976-1993 except one, and that was when I won in Austrailia 1991.) I don't believe we will ever see someone that is that good for that long ever again.HE WAS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I do quiet a few private 1 on 1 or group seminars, either at my place with my planes/helis, or I can travel to where ever. If interested please to not use this forum to contact me. For further details or available dates please email me at faq@chiphyde.com.

Thanks

I wanted to say, WELCOME ! To the Michael Jordan of RC- Now if we could just get MR. Hanno Prettner in here we would have it wired-

On a serious note, I have grown up reading about you Chip (we are the same age but different skill level ) and I can say that you are a tremendous asset to the hobby so thanks for all the motivation and memories> hopefully more in the future....

Thats enough kissing up - Do you teach seminars or clinics?

Anyhow, thanks for being available for questions and happy holidays to you and yours,
James In San Diego

P.S. TOC 2002, walking around the Ultimate in one direction and torque-rolling in the other? My dad is 78 and when I showed him the video he just couldn't believe it! I am sure I could do it but never tried...

Hey Chip ever thought about flying full scale aerobatics?


No, I I don't think its for me, but I sure enjoy watching those guys.

Status: offline 		In Poland we have 2 classes. One is F3A club and the other one is F3A. In F3a club many people compete with models with a .60 or even smaller. The program is very easy: few loops rolls spin and other rather easy aerobatics. I am thinking of building a plane from scratch (no money for a kit or ARF. I also get the building materials (except for the hardware servos ,motor and covering) for free. Do you have any suggestions about the size, angles, wing position (low??) or different. I was thinking of getting myself a mvvs .60 or a magnum. Should I use a tuned pipe or a silencer??
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Chris

You were going to try and fly the bipe (not yours?) but decided against at that time.

The question I have for you is how many hours between contest do you practice?
How do you practice, meaning do you do the whole routine or do you practice on a certain maneuver and then add 1 at a time or?
Thanking you in advance for you reply.

I am just getting started in Pattern and dabbling in 3D. I've only been seriously flying for a little over a year.
I will have one of your planes within a year, if only to see how it flys with an amateur at the sticks.
Take care and Happy Holidays,

Ken

Todd Bennett and I have plans for making a new wild 3D instructional video series, with helis and planes together. I am sure we will incorproate some of that into it as well.

I have an instructional video with Chip teaching precision flying. It spends most of the time explaining Pattern Flying techniques but everything we do should be based around precision... right?? It uses a split-screen showing his stick movements. It was made around 1992-1993. Chip does an AWESOME job of narrating what to do... and not do... He'll do the manuever correctly a couple of times and then do it in-correctly to show you what NOT to do... If he made a similar video and concentrated on 3-D stuff it would be perfect!! He could give us pointers on plane setup for 3-D as well as how to do harriers (upright and inverted), rolling circles, rolling harriers, waterfalls, blenders, elevators, flat spins (upright and inverted), torque-rolling, hovering, harrier landings, tick-tocks, roller-coasters, knife edge pointers, knife edge loops and spins, walls, etc., etc. Jason Shulman has a video out but I know Chip could really lend a lot of help to many of us. Let's just keep hoping he can fit it into his ever-increasing busy schedule...

BTW, the president of our local club (Rick Broussard, aka "Bagostix" in Lafayette, Louisiana) is making a living out of our hobby also with the Department of Defense building and flying drones for our Armed Forces for target practice. Wouldn't it be awesome to fly R/C for a living. (And be paid GOOD money to do it!!!!) It MUST be nice.....

Is the instructional video you are referring to the one available at Tower Hobbies: Milt Videos "How To" Video: Aerobatics ??

I have been thinking about getting it. Is it worth paying $27.99 + S+H??
