Aresti Catalog
 

Is there a link or a web site that lists the different maneuvers for each level i.e. basic or sportsman. I am looking to put together sequences to practice while I wait for the next season to start.

Thanks

Andy

Upper left corner of the link above where it says 2004 sequences, you can download the maneuvers (shcedlues) for all of the classes in pdf format (Adobe reader is needed.

They are still posting the 2004 ones though.

These are the unknown catalogs for each group - http://www.mini-iac.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=90

Rather than focus on a complete sequence in the off season, I strongly suggest that you look at the preovious year's sequence for your class and work on what is hardest for you.

Concentrate on the scoring elements. Work on lines and angles, entering internal roll elements, wind correction, etc. Believe me, it is these things that kill most pilots. Work on the details so that when the 2005 sequences are published you are in prime condition to perform well.

It really is the details and not the overall that makes the difference. Being able to string together a bunch of poorly executed figures is not going to help. But if you have the solid basics down, you can fly anything.

Thanks for the links. I will have a lot to practice by next season.

Hi Bill,

You really were watching me fly last season. LOL. Good advice!!! Hammers and spins it is.

Since this thread actually says "Aresti Catalog", I thought I'd post the link to it:

http://www.fai.org/aerobatics/catalog/

This is where all full size and scale aerobatic figures are derived. It establishes the base figures and the legal construction that can be used. It is also how we get the "K" factor for each figure. It is worth downloading and especially reading the first sections on construction, etc.

Now, as afar as practice, one thing to concentrate on are the high K figures. Hammerheads, Humpty Bumps, etc. Spins are relatively lower K. Work on getting the maximum points where they help you the most. Then move on to the lower K figures once you have mastered the higher K ones.
