Very well said, Dave.
I guess what I see since I've attended 1st USRCFS. my learning ability has increased tremendously along with my confidence. Each session is another building block to add to my foundation of building blocks. If the maneuver doesn't seem right, I think it through and add the right amount of input and all of a sudden the maneuver is done. Once that maneuver is mastered, then I try another and build from there. You never stop learning and you learn by building. That is where Dave Scott's DAS system comes into play.
My crashes have been allot less, and when I've crashed I've been able to think it through and learn from my mistakes. My mistakes have been less costly.
Isn't that what this hobby is all about.... learning , building and learning from our mistakes, and above all having fun.
Like I said before... buy Dave Scotts manual, (READ IT THOUGH) take your time and be patent. before you know it you will be soloing on your own and that is where the reward is. You will have built your own foundation of building blocks. Then if you want buy the second,third and fourth. The manuals are straight forward with illustrations and allot of things to learn. Like P factor, and how to have it work for you and not against you.
The manuals are only $25.00, and are well worth it, If you ever get the chance to attend one of his flight schools (DO IT) the cost may seem high but for what you come away from the course with is allot of knowledge and confidence.
Then when you go home and fly at your home field, after your first flight you will blow their minds.
I know I did.
Im not going to start a debate on club instructors, nor am I going to put down club instructors and what works best. I believe there are allot of great instructors out there. But I will say Dave Scott strives for success in his students and in himself. He will not limit you to one thing, but will help you build up a portfolio of various aerobatics.
Okay, Im ready bring on the feedback.
PS...Dave if you read this, I am working on that 2000 pound Gorilla.
