OK a complete new guy here to this type of flying....I was a sport flyer 30 years ago and getting back into flying this year...just learning some 3D.....(hard to teach an old dog new tricks)
Question is....in the beginning sequence...do you do all manuvers in sequence without leaving the "box" or do you fly outside the "box" and make turn arrounds and get set up for the next manuver. [sm=confused.gif] In other words after the hammerhead do you do an imediate loop or do you go and do a turn and come back to show center and then do the loop....as an example.
This should be fun..I have done airshows in 1:1 scale but never with a model.

Hi Dave,
All maneuvers are done when you enter the box. In basic, there are no maneuvers where you leave the box and come back in but in the higher classes you have crossbox maneuvers, but again you never really leave the box as in full scale. Your turnarounds are built into the Aresti such as a simple Humpy Bump, Hammerhead, half cuban, etc...
The Aresti shows where you would place them. Technically there is no box any more but the Airspace Control Score was created in it's place and is really subjective. Basically where ever you stand is considered center and you would fly the sequence with a good balance both left and right
