NOW, HERE'S THE QUESTION (s).
What should I be able to do with my trainer? And where do I learn to do it? Don't suggest a buddy box because there are RARELY any other flyers around when I'm at the field. Where can I get written instructions for the more intricate maneuvers? I want to be very proficient at this game before I brake out the Dazzler with the 46FX or the Aresti with the Saito FA.72 FS. (I'm way too scared to bring them out of my hobby room let alone try and fly them!) When will I be ready for the 2nd, 3rd, and fourth plane? I eventually want to get into my dream Focke Wulfe FW-190. I need some tips and I'm willing to read anything I can get my hands on.

"Model Airplane News", 1 800 537-5874, (www.rcstore.com) has two great books. "Radio Control Aerobatics for Everyone" and the other is self-describing, "Ultimate RC Flight Guide".
Actually I would suggest that you MAKE TIME for when someone that knows the aerobatic routines will be available.
One item that has the routines, but not the How-To is the AMA "Competitions Regulations" (Rule-Book) available from the good ol' AMA.

I have never known anyone to get really proficient in any aerobatic maneuvers without a coach. One can get to that which he thinks is rather good, until he flies in his first competition. Then do not be dismayed when the judges do not agree with your thinking. BTDT!
