[NSRCA-discussion] Holy cow FAI Nats unknowns

[Ken Velez]

I second Dave. The F-07stands for final schedule until Dec 2007 and the unknown will be picked the night before the finals begin at the farm house.

        I think the list on the Nats News is the F-07 routine not the unknown. The F stands for (I think) Finals and the P-07 is for Pre-lims. The unknown should have been picked by the pilots last night in the farm house. However, it will more than likely make the F-07 look easy. Oh what fun for them.

          They are posted on the nats update page from the AMA's website. www.modelaircraft.org

          The descriptions alone gave me a headache. Every maneuver seems to have two different rolling elements to it. Stuff like 4 of 8 point roll up 1 and 11/72 snap on the way down (I'm being fecetious but you know what I mean). I would love to just sit and watch every flight. I think there is also a figure S with rolls in opposite directions. 

          The level of control and precision of the FAI and even Masters pilots who decipher this stuff and make it look like they have been doing it their whole lives is incredible! I tried to fly the sequence last night with a stick plane and crashed!

          I also didn't know that it was against the rules to use a sim to practice the unknowns the night before, thanks for clearing that up Steve.

              Has anyone seen the unknown schedule for FAI? I can't in a million years imagine flying that with lots and lots of practice, not to mention just reading it, practicing with a stick plane or a sim, then flying it! How amazingly good have RC pilots gotten!

              I would zero about 75% of those maneuvers then crash before I finished the sequence.

              Wow
