Synopsis

The central Solo techniques that all good flyers use are brought to the forefront and systematically assembled to enable beginning R/C pilots to achieve Solo in the shortest amount of time. Utilizing the DAS System, techniques designed to bypass common errors and enhance practice effectiveness focus the pilot's attention on controlling what the airplane does instead of reacting to it. (Consider that when a pilot applies his or her control inputs correctly to begin with, the need for additional corrections is less likely, and the more time there will be to focus on learning and the next maneuver.) Presented in an easy to follow crawl-walk-run format, lessons are explained in terms of what to do, how to do it, and why it is done this way to make the lessons easier to remember and incorporate into actual practice. Developed over 20 years professionally training student pilots how to fly in less than a week, One Week To Solo covers everything a novice pilot needs to know to quickly start flying with skill and confidence.

About this title

About the Author

Dave Scott grew up in Oshkosh Wisconsin - home of the Experimental Aircraft Association and world s largest sport aviation convention and airshow. He began flying R/C at the age of 9 and has accumulated over 10,000 hours of R/C flying experience. He has worked in the development of several full-scale aircraft and has designed nearly 50 radio control planes. He is also a licensed pilot and active full-scale aerobatic competitor. Dave founded 1st U.S. R/C Flight School and has professionally trained more than 1200 pilots. His accelerated R/C flight training programs have resulted in 98% of all his Primary students trained achieving Solo in less than a week, and 100% of all his Aerobatic students achieving in only days what traditionally takes years. Dave is deeply influenced by his experiences with full-scale aircraft and believes that model airplanes should be flown and instructed with the same professionalism and realism. When he isn't instructing, competing, or writing his latest book, Dave thrills crowds with exciting R/C aerobatic demonstrations at full-scale airshows and large R/C events.
