喺香港玩飛機花式飛行有啲難度, 一來無適合場地, 二來唔係咁易搵到師父教導及指點...

香港係有正式飛行場地, 不過入會費高昂, 未必咁多飛友願意或有能力負擔...

最後, 學習Aerobatics, 唯有靠自己, 睇多啲, 思考多啲, 練習多啲...

幾個月前, 訂咗兩本書, 專門講解Aerobatics, 有基本入門守則, 亦有理論, 對初學者至中級, 都可以用嚟作參考...

第一本係"Radio Control Aerobatics for Everyone" by Dave Patrick...
呢本書比較舊, 不過佢有講解點樣去調教架機, 例如"Throws and Servo Linkages", "Confirming Proper CG", "How to Trim Your Plane for Optimal Rudder Response"及"Expo, Dual Rates"等...
基本嘅飛行要則亦有講解, 如"Crosswind Takeoffs"及"Landing in Crosswind"...
最精彩嘅當然係解說Aerobatics嘅部份, 包括"Slow Roll", "Stall Turn", "Spin"及"Snap Roll"...
更高深有"Torque Roll", "Rolling Circle", "Lomecevak"及"Tailslide"...
雖然Aerobatics比較舊, 但亦係最基本嘅動作...

另一本係"Ultimate RC Flight Guide"...
呢本書更加精彩, 開頭部份提及"Weather considerations", "Flying on a windy day"及"Trim your model for precision aerobatics"...
由於本書有介紹IMAC及TOC比賽, 所以有講及"Get ready for flight competition"及"Maximize your flight scores"...
至於Aerobatics部份, 都有詳細講解, 如"Straight and level flight", "Cross-box maneuvers", "Snap roll", "Rolling circle", "Tail slides", "Spin", "Torque roll", "Figure-9", "Figure-N", "Shark's tooth"及"Immelmann and split-S"...
另一精彩部份係講解Radio Programming, 對新手相當有用, 老手亦可以溫故知新, 包括"Program a mixer", "How to remove unwanted flight tendencies", "Mixing for flaps", "Compensate for roll and pitch during knife-edge", "Setting up your radio for fun-fly models"及"Offsetting a control"...
最後就係講及一啲技術性題目, "Pull/pull systems", "Balance that model", "Model size, wing area and power loading"及"Balancing 2-, 3- & 4-blade props"...

由於訂書之前搵唔到本書嘅細Topics, 只係得啲大路嘅內容, 所以訂書都只係搏一搏...
以上稍為詳細嘅形容希望可以幫到有意想買參考書嘅機友, 方便作出正確嘅選擇...

除以上兩本書, 我亦會睇美國高手John Glezellis嘅文章, 雖然較為簡短, 但已經導出要旨...
最鍾意佢o個句, "Remember that practice makes perfect, but always remember to have fun!"...

玩飛機Aerobatics就係咁, 好多動作都唔需要好覆雜嘅手指動作, 但要做得好就唔係咁易, 要做得好, 唯有多練習...
