    The purpose of this book is to provide helpful hints and advice that will improve your flying skills, educate you about your equipment setup and, most important, enhance the fun you'll have at the flying field. This volume, a compilation of my columns from Model Airplane News with supplemental drawings by Larry Lutton, is divided into four sections. Chapter one provides an overview of the major categories of R/C aerobatics that are being flown today. Chapter two offers important tips on setting up your airplane, and chapter three takes an in-depth look at flying techniques and specific aerobatics maneuvers. Chapter four is a quick reference guide to aerobatics maneuvers in the form of ribbon drawings and Aresti diagrams.

    Like most of you, I love to fly. Though my area of expertise is aerobatics, particularly pattern (F3A), once in a while I like to let my hair down to "hot dog," fly helicopters, or race. I've found that proficiency and skill in one discipline can help greatly in another. For example, learning how to do a precise four-point roll at will makes it relatively easy to show off and do a nice four-point off the deck; learning to fly with rudder is a great help if you want to fly helicopters. But the point of this book is to help you improve your flying skills.
