Chris and his team, just send him email:

 Hello dear visitors, according to small poll (on right side of WP) i see most of you like to see building tips and more videos, so soon i will prepare such material for you.

 Now i present you first video from section "Learn to fly" (LTF), in this Intro video you can some Aero Fly Professional Deluxe simulator practice with plane and transmitter in one shoot. This way you can analyse thumbs and plane movement and learn how to make some 3D and pattern maneuvers, i hope it will be useful for some of you. I used same technique (just without thumbs), by analysing TOC, XFC and TAS videos to learn and understand how some impressive maneuvers are done.

Hi resolution version (640x480), 53mb file on faster flyinggiants.com server.
Low resolution version (320x240), 30mb file.

 In this video i use AFPD plane: Katana 39%. I like how this plane fly, i made some small changes so it have little more power and more movement on all surfaces, so probably it fly little different from real plane:) Anyway i like this AFPD plane alot, its gread for precision practice and deffinately one of the best trainer for 3D, so here you go, enjoy:

Katana 3m Zip file for AFPD, 547kb file.

Unzip and place plane folder to C:\Program Files\IPACS\AeroFly Professional Deluxe\aircraft ore other location where you installed your simulator.

I use:

For Imac/Pattern 100% travel:

Aileron 30% expo.

Rudder 20% expo.

Elevator 25% expo. 

For 3D all surfaces 120% movement on TX, and + ~10% more expo. 

Katana is great giant scale aerobatic plane it is designed by well known TOC pilot from Itali S.Silvestri and now is produced by Krill models, we saw it live in this February in Belgium, 3D college indoor event at Aerobertics.be shop , must say this is top quality composite plane, finish is brilliant and price close to some wooden 33-39% kits...

Here is few video examples of 3m version in use:

 This weekend was exciting not only for USA indoor pilots because of ETOC, European guys also had chance to compete in last big and serious F3P competition of this season. We just back from Belgium, Mons , this time Lithuania team was only from two pilots, me and my good friend Ricardas Siumbrys. It was long trip and sometimes is to difficult to prepare everything for more persons. We are very happy with result we achieve!
