I read a lot of the creative and fun maneuvers that you guys/gals can do. I would like to learn some of these myself but not sure where to pick them up.

I fly at two different fields in my area but I rarely see people flying with any kind of acrobatics. I think if I could see some of the "tricks" I would be able to pick them up and begin practicing.

I guess my question would be where you guys have learned. Are there books/videos that show you how?

Signed,

Eager to learn.

Do you have a 3D Plane?

I suggest getting hold of a RC Sim and having a play to see what you can do for yourself.. You can always try FMS (Flying Model Simulator) it is a free to download simulator, Created in Germany but translated in English, Not too bad for a freebie!

I am no pro when it comes to 3D - in fact I am really only just getting into it myself! I have just finished scratch building a Morris Hobbies SU-DO-KHOI from sketches I got off a friend, and I have also ordered a 1/4 scale Edge 540 ARF Kit a week ago to play with. I would also be keen to see any demos/instructions on how 3D'ing - I can do almost everything I have seen others do on my sim, but lack creativity...

Also - any help would be appreciated!
