- If things go as planned, you'll find many exercises that are difficult only briefly, and after a minute or five you'll notice considerable improvement. Look out for those as opportunities to make a lot of progress in a short time! Then, move on and come back tomorrow.
- There will be exercises that are too easy.
Example: Don't waste time on perfecting tail-in hovering. Move on to nose-in as rapidly as safely possible. Once you manage nose-in , tail-in has become second nature. - There will be exercises that are too hard. In my opinion,
it's often best to leave it for later.
Example: Don't waste time on piroflips if you aren't confident in nose-in hovering. The idea sounds ridiculous, but many try nonetheless. - If you have the time, it won't hurt to go through the easiest
exercises briefly. Most likely, there are some nasty surprises waiting,
but those are great opportunities to improve with litte effort.
- Remember some of the easier ones for the next "bad" flying day when it's too windy or don't feel much like flying.
- On the scale from "1" to "5", expect that it'll take several months of regular practice to advance from "1" to "3" or "4".
- Instead of picking one difficult exercises, pick ten easy ones and you'll make progress faster.
- One good strategy: Start your move in a random direction (but:
it's not random, it will be your favourite direction, you use it
automatically). Stop immediately,
turn
around
and
practise
the
other way.
With this method, you'll always practise the direction that is your least favourite, where you will make progress easier.
