RE: Simple skill question for the aggresor?
WOW!!! Thanks a lot guys this place is awsome!!! I've found that I truely love flying 3d manuvers.
Just a few months ago I inherited a laser do to a crash and at the time I was flying a ucd. All I could do with the ucd was the basics of 3d. I realized that I wasn't going anywhere so me and me grandpa fixed up the laser and put a ST G2300 in it. After flying it for a while I realized I wasn't flying it (atleast my thumbs weren't). Everything I did in the air with the laser I visualized it, I didn't even take into consideration that I had a Tx in my hands. All I was doing were simple rolls and loops. Then I started mixing and realized that this was probably the way to go.
It changed my 3d flying dramatically. I was able to control my hovers and start flying with everything mixed together. Now that I have practiced this for a while and have run out of 3d menuevers that I know, I have exceeded the limitations on my ucd, so I've started coming up with my own new manuevers for 3d flying.
Now that I have found what I want to do I need an airplane to do it with. I am going to get a WH edge 540t in a few days. This will be my first gasser that I plan on competing with next year. This was one of the reasons that I was wondering if any of you guys compete at the level I am at? I don't know if I'm good enough yet but plan on finding out next year. Plus I'm hurting on money seeing as I am only 15 so I gotta get it right the first time and stay away from that thing we call earth.
Well thats my story. I agree with you guys about flying like you're inside the plane, thats how I always fly. It helps me to visualize what the plane is doing, not what I'm am doing 100 yards away from it. I even practice flying manuveres on aero-fly with my eyes closed and come out clean. It helps me learn the airplane to predict what it'll do no matter what I put it through that way I'll hopefully never have to worry about direction again.
Alright I need to stop talking. Lets hear some of your storys?
