Kevin Caton and I are pleased to announce the publication of Edition 3 of our book, Advanced Precision Aerobatics, covering the FAI F3A A27 and P27 schedules that are due to start in Jan 2026 and run for the next 2 years.. The book is available as a Kindle, a paperback or hardback from Amazon - . You can buy these books from most Amazon stores and not just the Amazon.com one.

This book is for those who are new to or attempting to improve their performance of the FAI Model Aircraft Aerobatic Schedules A27 and P27. The book covers the topics of trimming, transmitter setup, aircraft and control setup, how to practice effectively, countering wind effects and what is involved in competition flying. We also refer to how best to use Flight Coach to improve your flying. The FAI P27 or Preliminary Schedule is flown in all Continental and World Championships and is usually used in National Competitions. The FAI A27 or Advanced Schedule, is the precursor to the P27 and has the same manoeuvre geometry but with fewer in-manoeuvre elements. The objective of flying A27 is that it enables an easier transition to P27 as the overall geometry remains the same. In the UK, both A27 and P27 are used in the UK National League competitions.
