OK, so here is another idea: It is broader in scope than NSRCA Pattern however so please bear with me for a NY Minute. Perhaps if AMA offered introduction to precision aerobatics course materials which individuals or clubs could take advantage of? A course could cover aerobatics fundamentals that are useful for sport flying, relevant to IMAC Basic and NSRCA Sportsman classes. As such, it would focus on applied aerodynamics and aerobatic skills, while stopping short of the specifics of the SA or MA rule sets to keep the learning manageable. Motivated individuals or clubs could then adapt the course materials to their own learning programs knowing that all the right ingredients are there for the newcomers to gain exposure to key concepts and skills.<div> </div><div>Please note for perspective that I now belong to 3 clubs with membership from 30-130 or so, and while the larger of these two clubs offer scheduled introductory level RC flight training, none offer even semi-formal aerobatic training of any kind. One has to seek out the the limited time of retired competitors and that is not always a consistent course of learning, in my experience. Those with access to active competitors and/or airfields where pilots practice or compete in precision aerobatics are blessed, truly. With course materials in hand, a motivated individual could learn fundamentals in a useful sequence, seek out others who may be able to help learn a particular maneuver (as described by the AMA, not recalled from back in the day), try it out in a RC simulator, or enroll in a course run by a local club (which can manage its own volunteer workload since the course is in the can). Finally, as suggested above, should be accessible and appeal to park flyers, small electrics, as well as traditional IC modeling. Thoughts?</div>
