I am looking to take my flying to a higher level. I am a solid pilot that has even instructed, but I need some resources for improvement. I am looking for one or perhaps two books that would cover trimming and advanced aerobatics.

I have a nice Ultimate Bipe but I have been too lazy to fine tune the trim. There is a noticeable (but correctable) pull to the right on uplines and the knife edge is a mess. I know that to fly really precisely the thrust line, CG and incidences can be fine tuned and there are a certain approaches to performing these tasks. Can someone recommend a book?

I would also like something that would lay out some aerobatic routines and describe how to do the manuevers. By practicing a routine I can focus more on entry and exit points and become more fluid. I'm not really looking to compete, but I'd like to be better. I gets a little boring just drilling holes in the sky.

Here are 3 pages from the back of the original GP Ultrasport 40 that have some very good info

Try going to the NSRCA website, they have a lot of good info. Also, the Pattern forum here on RCU has all the experts on it that can help with specific questions. Two books that I like a lot are: Radio Control Aerobatics For Everyone by Dave Patrick, and the Ultimate RC Flight Guide from the publishers of Model Airplane News. Good luck.
