Last weekend Rod Seto and I attended Todd Bennett's Flying School. We drove up from the Palm Springs area and the trip proved to be well worthwhile! Todd will teach you all the basic 3D maneuvers and the bail out sequence for each. He will give you the confidence you need to execute these maneuvers and get you accustomed to looking and reacting to the heli in every possible orientation. I could hover inverted on the simulator but was never confident enough to try it at the flying field. Todd not only had me hovering inverted but nose in inverted!!!!! He also taught me maneuvers I never thought I would be able to do! He has saved me at least a couple of years on the learning curve and probably several future crashes! I now have a list of maneuvers I need to practice every time I go to fly. This is the way we improve and grow with this hobby. I would strongly suggest that anybody interested in improving their heli flying take some of that crash money you have set aside and go to Todd Bennett's Flying School!!!!!!!!!!!!
