Does anyone know where to find some diagrams or explanations of various flight tricks and maneuvers? Something that shows control stick positions maybe.

Thank,

Kevin

I have an aerobatic section that will show the basic maneuvers.
Stick movements are not shown.

www.nsrca.org has diagrams, and descriptions of how to do a large number of maneuvers.

BTW... we call them "Aerobatic Maneuvers." (Tricks are what a magician does. )

Link him to some aresti aerocryptographics and make his head spin

I don't know it its still available...

Great planes put out a pamphlet on how to get into aerobatics, that has GREAT discriptions and diagrams for both Pattern style and 3D maneuvers.

It was written by Anne Marie Cross (and someone else) who still owrks at Great Planes in Product Support. (She IS product support! productsupport @ greatplanes.com {delete the spaces} put "ATTN: A.M. Cross" in the subject line and it goes straight to her.)

In every issue of RC report there is a single menuver diagrammed and dicussed by one of RCU's members. Oh pooh I forget his name it sucks getting old, my B-day was Wendsday. He is good and lays out each menuver in plain english so we can understand. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help everyone.

It's a GREAT monthly column, and the maneuvers are incredably explained, complete with stick movements, as well as presented in a diagram "card" every month that you can cut out of the magazine and turn into a book of maneuvers.

Here are some sites with how-to stuff and diagrams like your looking for.
