Thanks Tug. I've really enjoyed making this series.. Now, I need to find another item to make a video about..😎

Will - You did it - You gave 5 great videos to help beginning flyers learn to enjoy our great hobby! Your methods and communication have been really good so that everything was easy to understand. I was a bit hesitant to mention one little thing I noticed on this last video. But here goes. At about the 4:30 to 5:00 minute time frame you were doing rolls and mentioning how the plane can lose altitude while inverted during the roll. And you mention adding "slight elevator" during the roll to keep from losing altitude. Of course I know what you mean - but new pilots this is intended for may not. Perhaps the phrase: "slight down elevator" may have been more helpful. I mention this because a group of "new" pilots may never have given a 'down elevator' command to their plane at this point. I feel using a touch of down elevator is another good skill set for the newer pilots to develop. It can be useful in a few ways. As you show several times, a touch of down elevator during a roll can make it smoother and more scale looking. You mentioned inverted flying - and it would be essential then. Since the plane is usually trimmed for straight and level flight at a moderate throttle setting - the speed developed from a maneuver can cause the plane to climb - perhaps more than wanted. So, I often come out of something with speed and want to make a smooth level pass right in front of myself. I do this by adding just a touch of down elevator as the plane goes by. Another useful time is when a plane is taking off and has too much throttle or elevator trim - has nosed up - and may stall. Being familiar with pushing just of bit of down elevator at this point can benefit. Also on a landing approach (especially later with flaps} the plane may balloon up as the landing approach is begun. Pushing a little down elevator can nose the plane down where it needs to be for a successful approach. As I mentioned before - a newer pilot may never have considered pushing some 'down elevator' during their flight. But it has it's uses. This 'more advanced' aspect of flying a model might even be shown in your sixth video? I wouldn't mind another . . . you can still show some snap rolls and other cool stuff. Whatever - I commend you for what you have done - and you have done it real well !

Thats great input (down elevator while inverted). I think I added more commentary about that on a different video take, but it didn't make the final.. I agree, the new pilot might be confused by that part. So many aspects to flying and it was tough to hit as much as I could in a short video.. I have an idea for the 6th video and you touched on it. Stay tuned.... Thanks for the support.

Those are some great tips for anyone that wants to learn to fly or even for us that are experienced. I always learn something new all the time and anyone that says they know everything well they are just full of it. Great job excellent video bud👍👍👍👍👍

@@SteffenRC This has all been really helpful info, for newbies and for people like myself who still have lots to learn. Really appreciated Will. 👍🏻🇬🇧

Nicely done Will. Again, I think this series will really help a lot of newer pilots. Really a great thing you've done for the community. When teaching aerobatics, I find that ground school with a stick plane before we get to the flying really helps students a lot. Most people new to aerobatics need very specific stick input instructions with a visual guide along the way, and with a visual aid you can slow things way down as you explain them. This gives the pilot plenty to focus on in prep before the flight. You can get the stick planes at Extreme Flight. Might help if you do a more advanced acro video.

Thanks Adam.. You mean you don't like my full scale stick plane???? I was thinking about that, but...... Always appreciate your comments and coaching. This YT community of RC enthusiast is amazing.. So many people helping each other succeed... Simply awesome...

Performing basic maneuvers builds discipline plus its a bunch of fun! I flew F3A in the 80s and 90s. I enjoyed the precision of flying within a box right in front of me. I trained under one of Great Britain's best F3A builders and pilots, Terry Westrop. At the time Terry was flying from RAF Upwood where I lived. Sadly Terry was killed in a motorcycle in 2016 at the age of 65. I still remember performing my first wings level series of loops under his guidance. I still fly within a visual box to date unless doing 3D. Keep teaching! Thanks for your effort in the RC community.

Thanks JD, really appreciate your comments. I've never had a RC Coach. At 57, I'm still interested in learning and perfecting my rc skills. Sounds like Terry was a wonderful rc pilot. Took bad he was taken too soon... I'll keep working on helping the new pilot get sucked into this great hobby... Thats for sure.. - Will

Thank you Will, Mark
