Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a PC software that makes it possible to select from a (possibly) large list of pattern maneuvers and put together flight schedules in an Aresti or similar representation.
Any infos?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

There is something available using Visio on the IMAC side of the house. They use the FAI catalog for full scale stuff. This program will not and does not work for the Precision Aerobatics maneuvers other than simple stuff because our sequences don't follow the same rules as the Full scale stuff.

Check in the IMAC forum I know there is a program. Its very pricey like around $180 for the applet then you have to have Visio. This was the last I saw of it. Perhaps things have changed in the last year or so.

I was looking at it because of the F3A unknown sequences. There is a list of maneuvers that can be used. Many of these are not in the program and there are lots more that are not allowed in an F3A Unknown. Difference in the unknowns in F3A and an IMAC style event...The pilots pick the unknowns one maneuver at a time. There are certain rules you have to follow but the sequence is developed by the finalists. Its actually a very cool setup and the sequences can be quite fun and entertaining. On the other side they can become quite difficult as well.

Aresti 6 from Alan Cassidy is $100 US. It's designed for the IAC/IMAC types but Alan might be open to updating it for F3A. I know he did some custom work for me back when I was President of IMAC.

Interesting note Troy.. in IAC world competitions.. the countries pick select 1 maneuver to be included in the unknown maneuver list. Then the countries take all the maneuvers and submit an unknown using them, and then the international just selects the unknown to be flown from those submitted.

No offense Doug, but it's actually FAI world competition. The "International Aerobatic Club" is in fact the USA's aerobatic organisation. Always something of a sore point amoungst other countries!

Absolutely correct.. just a typo on my part. Happens sometimes after a long night at work :-P
