1st RC Flight school manuals
I read your book and it has changed my life!!! I had all the bad habits that you mentioned, I read your book 3 times to absorb as much as I could, tried it out on my simulator, and then at the field, oh my gosh, what a difference, I actualy came home with my plane in one piece. I went home and read it two more times, you have saved my sanity, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I am trying to get all my friends at my club to read it. Thanks again. Your #1 fan.
Steve Ball. Corona RC Club, CA My husband has so enjoyed your book - it probably was worth double the price! Already he has found numerous good tips in it to improve his flying.
Margorie Whittaker. Norcross, GA It takes knowledge to learn without crashing. 1st U.S. R/C Flight School manuals are a great way to gain knowledge. Each manual is well detailed and explains each lesson with excellent illustrations. For each lesson, matching stick movements are highlighted so that you can practice before you take to the air. Armed with an instructor and these manuals, your flight experiences will be more rewarding.
Rick Bell. Editor, Model Airplane News The steps in your book One Week to Solo really helped and finally gave me something solid to go by, and that's when I started to make progress. Before that I landed in the hay field behind the pit area, in the corn filed at the end of the runway and in a tree (twice, same tree) across from the pit area and in the lake at the other end of the field. Now I land on the runway all the time, without your book I might have quit.
Paul Zimmer. New Richmond, WI Just a quick note to thank you once again for the Manual. Your points are great. Especially the 'Bump' and the 'Procedure Turn'. Now I know why I've had so many crashes.
Lee Peters. Bigfork, MT The manuals are terrific!!! They are very informative and I especially like the detailed and intuitive illustrations. There are so many things that I was not aware that make so much sense the way you explain them. I have been flying for about 6 years and just not progressing the way I felt I should have. I have no doubt that my flying will progress leaps and bounds with all that your books have taught me.
Glenn Kotch. I know quality when I see it and really enjoy telling my readers about good stuff. 1st U.S. R/C Flight School is selling an educational and much needed Intermediate (Precision) Aerobatics flight-training manual. Professionally written, the graphics are as large as the pages, and the text is easy to read. Based on reading the book and going out and trying the directions, I can tell you that it contains great advice. I recommend that you use the book with a friend. Working in pairs, you could coach each other through a whole series of improvements in your flying.
Eric Henderson. Aerobatics Column, Model Aviation The Flight Training Manuals are absolutely great, I've learned a lot already just by reading. As with all things that look simple you must have spent a lot of effort in producing these.
Paul Child. Oxford, UK I have only been in the hobby for two years and recently ordered your "Airplane & Radio Setup" manual to try to improve my skills/knowledge of the hobby. I followed your advice and my planes are definitely flying with much more control. Your manual has greatly helped grow my knowledge and confidence in respects to RC Airplanes. Thank you for writing such an informative manual and it was worth every penny. This manual should be required reading for anyone getting involved into the world of RC airplanes.

If I learn half as much when I attend the school as I have learned in the past two days since receiving your manual, I'll no doubt become an expert! Mike Weathers. St. Louis, MO I wanted to let you know that thanks to your instruction manuals I’m progressing and I'm having a ball learning and flying. It’s great to know what to practice and how to practice thanks to your manuals. Pleasantly I'm not nervous about flying any more even in the wind. My loops are big and round, rolls are nice and axial with hardly any loss of altitude and landings are perfect 3 pointers almost every time. All of these made possible by knowing how to execute the maneuvers with the proper setup and entry - thanks to the instruction in your manuals. For now I'm just learning and enjoying and having fun. Thanks Dave for being my flying instructor - it proves you can teach a retired old dog new tricks.

Wow! The new book is brilliant! You need to get the word out. There's nothing else like it available in the sport. This book would be a tremendous help to several flyers I know. It's been a great help to me.
Capt. Woodie Woods. Algonquin, IL David, you are 100% on target. By following the lessons in the book, I now have much more confidence controlling my airplane in any attitude, and for the first time I feel like I'm controlling the airplane versus it controlling me.
David Duys. Philadelphia, PA I couldn't believe this manual. It was talking about every area where I was having problems. The first flight after reading the manual was "the most comfortable" flight that I ever had. I was controlling the bird and staying in front of it and accomplishing some very nice half Cuban's (never knew the name before), loops, and rolls. A great big THANKS!

I made more progress in the 10 months applying your sport aerobatics system than I had in the previous 5 years.
Dan Hammon. Bountiful, UT I just wanted you to know how much benefit I received from your flight manual. After practicing on the sim until I could do the things in your book, I was able to fly two 5 minute flights with no outside assistance.
Jeff Steinberg. Posen, IL
I am very happy to inform you that the techniques described in your manual have been of great help to me. So much so, I am now able to land my airplane perfectly almost every time, while previously I had great difficulty in making a proper approach. I am now much more confident of taking my first plane to the flying field. Congratulations to you and your team for producing such a wonderfully illustrated and excellent manual. Thanks again for a great manual which is worth every cent.
Dr. Chitter Venkat. Wichita, KS Great books!!! They taught me how to fly when no other people could describe what or why things happen. I’ve been using your books for 3 seasons and am already in the F3A national club in Israel
Offer Shmuely. Zoran, Israel I would like to say that having read the solo and park flyer manuals and practicing the techniques described therein on a simulator daily has greatly improved my actual model flying . The manuals are the best investments I have ever made. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
