[NSRCA-discussion] WRAP UP - Advancement

[Archie Stafford]

I’m reasonably sure that if we presented the patterns in Aresti that within 24 hours there would be written descriptions on the website.  My entire reasoning for using Aresti is that you no longer have to have long drawn out descriptions of each maneuver.  There is NOTHING that prevents you from writing out your own call sheet.  Most people tend to have their own personalized call sheets anyway.

 

Another thing, is honestly for someone first looking at flying competitively, Aresti is actually kind of easy to use because you can see the actual maneuver.  You can say loop and most people will know what it is, but if you say ½ reverse Cuban eight, people look at your like you are speaking a foreign language, but if you have it on paper and can show them as well as describe it, it can be helpful.  How many times has someone asked you what a maneuver looked like and you went and got a stick plane or drew it out on paper.  

 

No one says you can’t write it out, but it does make it easier initially when creating patterns.

Ok, I’ll tell that to my wife. What response do you think I’ll get?

See what happens when you hand an Aresti sportsman schedule to a potential new pattern flyer and say: Just fly this!

Or a new pattern flyer goes to the NSRCA web site wanting to see what he has to fly to compete.

While it may be the universal aerobatic language,  why make it so that it has to be “translated” (KISS)

Aresti is simple to read and understand it only takes a few minutes to learn the basics. There are two resources on the NSRCA website that make learning it a snap (get it? a "snap"? I kill me!!).

Download the "Aresti Made Simple" article and the "Aresti Dictionary". Between those two you can be an Aresti Wiz in very little time.

IMAC has moved away from written narratives becasue it has been shown that even for a caller, there is no way you can read and speak as fast as you can see and say a sequence.
