Mr. Scott does a nice job of teaching a maneuver and then building on that maneuver as you progress through the manual. I liked the fact it was spiral bound, allowing me to flip it over as I studied a maneuver and making it easy if you have a flight sim to lay out the book in front of you to practice a maneuver you just learned. Another thing that stood out to me was the fact that Mr. Scott includes a view of the sticks on the transmitter and how to manipulate them to complete the maneuver that is being instructed. I would not hesitate to recommend Park Flying 1-2-3D to anyone who would like to become a better R/C pilot. Read More

David Scott is an outstanding instructor that has many years of experience and tens of thousands of instruction flights at his school. His books are precise, well illustrated and fun. The main key he teaches is the ability to fly the plane pro-actively and not reacting to the deviation. You will love this book and will learn more from his experience and techniques in a short time versus learning something the wrong way and then practicing it into a bad habit. Learn it right the first time and get more out of your practice!

Dave Scott takes his full scale knowledge, combines it with his RC skills, and writes a masterpiece. All the
books in his series help pilots see the forest through the trees, and add a perspective that will take years to
come by on your own. Why re-invent the wheel when you can take from his years of instruction, and build on it from there.

Pros: Excellent Information, very well written.
Cons: Shows you how much you don't know.

The books are great (Park Flying 1-2-3D & One Week to Solo). I fly reacting to the plane, but I am now working to control the plane using instructions from your book. I have made many improvements since I started using your books. I had some limited instructions from experienced pilots in my club but the instructions did not get into many of the areas that your books cover.

Ross Schultz. Iron Ridge, WI

The books are brilliant. I wish I had them to start off with 6 months ago as I would have understood with more clarity what I was doing wrong. The books make things very simple to understand and progress at a very steady rate.

Dave Scott offers an insightful and methodical teaching approach through all of his training manuals. Although this book is written for electrics, the techniques work just as well with glow or gas planes of any size. The book starts with a great learning-to-fly overview that is also a great refresher on good technique for any level pilot. Next the book dives right into aerobatic maneuvers which lay a foundation for gaining confidence and trying more advanced stuff. The bulk of the manual is spent on 3D flying. It offers the best explanations of rates, mixes, and advanced radio programming I have read. It does not just tell you how to do it, but when to use the mixes, when not to, and how they affect the flight characteristics of each maneuver. Detailed graphics and diagrams are included throughout to help explain everything in the text without any guessing. A great source of knowledge!

Got a quick glance at one of your books today and what I saw looked very good.

It takes knowledge to learn without crashing. The 1st U.S. R/C Flight School manuals are a great way to gain that 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.

You’re clearly the leader in the training category. Park Flying 1-2-3d is a superb manual and will be a tremendous asset to the entire sport.

I'm very impressed with the layout and content of your Park Flying training book. I have not seen anything that comes anywhere close to what you have put together.

Wil Byers. Silent Flyer Magazine

WOW!!!!  You have absolutely taken RC instruction to the top!!! We are grateful that you are providing such a fantastic service to modelers.

Brian Bychowski. DU-BRO Products

This book is packed with invaluable information that every flyer can benefit from, not just park flyers. If more people started using your books people would be talking about making progress instead of all the talk about crashing.

Woodie Woods. Algonquin, IL

The basic information in your new park flying book has been a big help to the school kids that I'm teaching how to fly on FS One simulator. The book has been invaluable to me. It has helped me understand all the principles I need to know to fly 3D. Whereas I could not do any 3D maneuvers before, I can now hover and I'm getting better at several high alpha maneuvers.
