[NSRCA-discussion] Advanced Maneuvers for 2015

[Del R]

Chuck ?  Why the restriction/condition of only 1 year?  Why is it assumed we all want a new plane every 3 or 5 years?

  Setup makes pattern easier, a poorly setup plane avg or state of the art is still a poor setup plane. But, I contend it will still be capable of flying the maneuvers in the advanced sequence.


  There is nothing g in any of the new sequences that needs anything more than what was required in last years sequences.

          Average is more than just the equipment and  time given to practice. Critiquing from a good knowledgeable coach is a must. Some of us do not have this luxury. You can practice all you want and think you’re great, but without proper critiquing you’ll be in for a shock at a contest. You also have to look at the setup of the plane,  Motor thrust, up, down, right, left? Wing incidence, proper placement of the battery, act. Then there’s  the proper trim, and this done in combo with getting the proper setup working to get the trim perfect. Now we move on to the radio. With the plane trimmed we still, in some cases, need to have the radio manipulate our inputs to hide unwanted characteristics. This is Mixing. Sometimes this goes well and sometime it does not and takes time. Then the Expo and DR, and when and how and what percentages to set them up in the radio to work to your advantage. In some cases we move back and forth with Thrust, weight balance, adding weight to a wing panel and so on. Not plug and play. Setting  up the ESC also not plug and play. Prop choices APC, Carbon what diameter what pitch, etc. I’ve flown with some guys that don’t even know on how to set up their timer on the radio.  If you’re flying an average plane and have all this worked out to a 100% you have a killing plane. If you have a new out of the box high dollar ARF and have only worked out some or none of the described issues, you do not.
