Default Question for Mike Mas

First thing you have to do is get your ground work done. A real common problem now a days, is as soon as a pilot can fly around, he's upstairs learning aerobatics and he never gets back down to the ground to learn how to fully control the machine on the ground.

Learning Inverted today is really best accomplished on a flight simulator. Preparing yourself to look at the machine inverted at all different angles is also important. I also recommend that at least part of the time, you stand up for short periods of time when flying the simulator to simulate your real position at the field. Keep in mind that even though you can do a lot on a simulator when you get the machine out in the field, it's going to be a new ballgame.

Also there is nothing like flying the real model. The best i could figure, 5 flight on the simulator represents one real flight with the actual model.
