Default RE: How Much Do You Practice?

I usually fly twice a week . . approx 5 flights per session.

Normally I fly the whole sequence, then go back and practice a couple of "roughies" at the end before landing.

I have just been promoted from Expert to F3A and have only three weeks to learn the F3A Schedule before a major competition, so I will be taking a 50 size Electric plane out as often as I can mid week as well as the 2M plane every weekend (as usual).

The F3A P-07 has about 5 maneuovers that vary slightly from the Expert schedule. I plan to practice these in a concentrated fashion to lift the standard to the others, with the full schedule flown in between.

When I was learning a completely new schedule, I would simply fly the whole schedule over and over. When I was happy with a "competition standard" of flying, I would then concentrate on the more difficult and higher 'K' factor maneuovers to help maximise my score.

Either way . . just practice as often as you can. BUT don't practice mistakes (a common problem for many).

Cheers, JB
