1. Basic Training Freestyle - A Master's Guide to 3D Flight Review

In this first episode of "Freestyle - A Master's Guide to 3D Flight", we look at the maneuvers as part of Basic Training. Most of the moves come from F3N, Global 3D or have just been around for a long time.

The PDF containing the list of maneuvers is available from the Mikado shop under Literature. Click on "Look inside" for the complete list.

Fantastic idea for a video series. I see some commenters being put off by this being called "the basics". It's basic in the sense that these are the building blocks of 3D flight, it doesn't mean that you should be expected to learn all of this overnight. I practiced for hundreds of hours to get to this level

Thank you Richard for another great video! I have never been able to do such a perfect stationaty hover and such super clean hovering piroettes ! If it's the wind which is almost never taking a break at my field or the lack expierience I have, I can only guess! I love how clean and precise you are able to fly and your video is the proof that it's worth tp practice, practise, practise. You geive me again many inspirations to try on the field!

Cheers mare, well made video as always 👍🏽.

After years of flying I'm now practicing the Pilot Proficiency Program you covered to hopefully further improve my orientations, currently doing some of the hovering manoeuvres from vid 3 and fliping manoeuvers from vid 4.I find these are far from easy and fry my brain a bit with the concentration required.

How they've added Tailslide and Wall to Basic Training, I'll never understand 😄

Another excellent video. I just mastered inverted flight. Now I'm on backwards flight. Any tips as it's more difficult than I thought. I thought once I cracked inverted flight that would unlock the kingdom of everything this hobby has to offer. Was I wrong!

Excellent Richard - any chnace of sharing pitch curves please? all mine are linear -100 to +100 and I fail to believe this is ideal for steady hovering etc.

[PropplaneRC]

If that’s basic flying I’m not even a beginner with Helis. 😂

[leebates]

Yep some of them are not basic....well, not difficult but you need all of your orientations or itll go wrong quickly
