The Right Sequence for You
If you haven’t already done so, visit
the official IMAC website, listed in
“Sources,” and print off your schedule.
If you are just getting started, I’d advise
that you begin with the Basic routine.
Flying competition aerobatics
requires time and dedication. I have
dedicated a great portion of my life to
flying, beginning with competing in
Precision Aerobatics at the age of 11,
and in Scale Aerobatics at the age of 14.
I am 27 years old.
I urge you, though, that even if you
are a skilled pilot and can perform
maneuvers from the Intermediate
routine (for example), you should start
from the beginning and work your way
up. Important fundamentals are learned
from competition.
Before I began competing in IMAC,
I had a background in Precision
Aerobatics and was actually in the
Masters class; however, I still started
off in the Sportsman class in IMAC.
Take your time and never rush out of
any class. Learning each fundamental is
critical to ensure success in the future.
Now, let’s see how your memorization
skills stack up!
Memorization
I understand that when it comes
to memorization skills, everyone
is different. When a new sequence
comes out, I urge you to not become
overwhelmed.
A s I am writing this column, the 2012 International Miniature Aerobatic Club
(IMAC) schedules have recently been released. Although each of the five
IMAC classes—Basic, Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced, and Unlimited—
contains 10 maneuvers, each class differs greatly in complexity.
In the Basic routine, there is a Hammerhead. Unlimited also contains a
Hammerhead, but instead of performing this maneuver with nothing on the upline
or downline, the pilot is to enter inverted and perform one-and-a-half negative
snaps followed by a half roll in the opposite direction on the upward segment of
the Hammerhead.
Then, on the downline, a four-point roll must be executed before pushing to an
inverted exit. What began as a basic maneuver can become tedious to perform!
Because these programs change on a yearly basis, I would like to dedicate this
column to learning a new sequence. As described in the Hammerhead example,
elements can become difficult to remember, especially when 10 maneuvers must
be performed in a specific order.
In the past, I have discussed the importance of having a caller—someone
who will read off each individual maneuver to you throughout the course of a
given flight. This is great and certainly needed for a competition flight, but it is
sometimes not possible if you are practicing alone.
I would like to discuss the methods that I use, as well as a few practices that
have been done by other pilots. Now, let’s begin!

sequence
Right: Look at these three great IMAC airplanes!
First, is Wayne Field’s electric-powered 70-inch Extreme
Flight Extra 300. The Hangar 9 Yak 54 and 3.1-meter
Sukhoi belong to my father, Peter Glezellis.
I prefer to write out my program for the first few flight
sessions of the year. Doing so puts each maneuver in
my preferred calling style and helps me memorize the
routine.
www.ModelAviation.com April 2012 Model Aviation 131
When I first see the routine that I
will fly for the year, I either write the
sequence down on a piece of paper, or
type it out on the computer. I look at
the Aresti figures shown and translate
each maneuver into text that I would
like my caller to read to me when I am
flying the routine.
By studying each maneuver and
taking time to write the sequence
down, I become familiar with that
given routine. If time permits, I
spend some time on the flight
simulator reviewing the sequence
and familiarizing myself with the
orientation of the airplane at different
segments of each maneuver—after all,
repetition is key for familiarity!
To prepare yourself for your first
session at the field with your airplane,
I recommend that you bring a copy
of the Aresti diagrams for your class,
as well as a written description of the
sequence so a fellow club member can
read your sequence for you while you
are flying. Even if you are familiar with
Aresti, not everyone is.
To help you out, download the
IMAC Lite application for your smart
phone. This application has a lot of
useful information regarding sequences,
and even includes a written description
of the sequence. Check it out for your
iPhone, iPad, or Android device!
After you look at the application,
compare the Aresti sequence with the
written description and familiarize
yourself with each symbol. Learning
Aresti takes some time, but having a
text description and an actual Aresti
ff scaffl escale
sequence to compare it with will help
you out greatly, especially if you are
just starting out!
Before we move on to the next
segment, I will reveal a neat trick that I
saw on a recent trip to the flying field.
My father has an interesting technique
that he uses when practicing his
routine alone. He prints the Aresti on a
3 x 5 piece of paper by simply scaling
down the size of the sequence.
He laminates and attaches the paper
to the transmitter’s antenna with two
small pieces of Velcro. If he needs a
mental refresher of what maneuver is
coming next, he can quickly glance at
the transmitter. This technique works
well!
At the Field
Now that you have your schedule
typed out and you have spent some
time on a flight simulator, becoming
familiar with that given routine, it is
time to go the flying field and begin
practicing.
On your first few flights, I recommend
that you try each maneuver separately.
Don’t overwhelm yourself by taking off
and starting the entire routine. If the
routine appears to be tedious for you at
a specific time, stop the sequence and
start from the beginning.
The 2012 Basic routine begins with
a basic roll. The second maneuver is a
Half Cuban 8 with a half roll down,
and so on. I recommend that on your
first flight, you practice the roll until it
is either perfect, or nearly perfect. That
means establish your baseline that is
at a fixed altitude and parallel to the
runway and perform the roll centered
on yourself as the pilot. Execute the
roll so that the aircraft is inverted
when the airplane is directly in front
of you and so the rate of rotation never
changes.
When you have become familiar
with this maneuver, practice the
second maneuver, which is a fiveeighths
pull to a 45° downline with
a half roll, centered on the 45° line.
Once you can properly execute this
maneuver, move on to the third one.
After you have flown all maneuvers
in that given routine, perform the
first maneuver and then the second
maneuver, one after the other. As you
start adding maneuvers within a given
routine, you may become “rushed,”
which means that one maneuver starts
immediately after another.
To illustrate this for the Basic
routine, a pilot who is new to IMAC
may perform the roll after the aircraft
passes the pilot’s position. The pilot
will be forced to go into the second
maneuver almost immediately. This
should not be the case. It is important
to maintain a constant pace throughout
the routine and give each individual
maneuver the proper amount of
aerobatic space required for the best
possible presentation.
Now that we’ve discussed
presentation and timing, let’s look
at cross-box maneuvers. Because I
am flying the Unlimited program,
maneuvers have directional elements
that may change for a given flight.
Use what is called a “stick plane” to visualize each
maneuver. Stick planes are great for Unknown
programs! Visit www.aero-works.net for more
information.
Left: Fastening a scaled-down printout of the maneuver
to your transmitter is great if you are flying alone. One
can forget a specific maneuver in a routine, but a quick
glance will ensure that this doesn't happen again!
For example, Maneuver 4 from the
Unlimited program is a one-and-a-halfturn
positive spin followed by a threefourths
negative snap with a pull to an
upright cross-box exit.
If the spin is performed in one
direction, the snap will be in that
direction and will determine whether
the airplane will be coming in or
traveling away from the pilot because
it is what is considered a “cross-box”
maneuver. This term simply means that
the airplane will be travelling on the
Z-axis rather than the traditional Xand
Y-axes.
If an incoming crosswind exists, the
pilot should perform the maneuver so
that it is exited traveling away from the
pilot and into the wind. If this is not
the case and the airplane exits coming
in, the pilot will be rushed to perform
the next maneuver because the wind
will also be pushing the airplane, and in
this case, it will be pushing the aircraft
closer to the pilot!
Closing Thoughts
I have shared a few tips that
should help you memorize your new
routine. If you have gotten aerobatic
competition fever, I hope that you
take and apply some of these key
fundamentals.
Spend time looking at the sequence
from both directions, and examine
any cross-box elements. The Basic
class does not contain any crossbox
components and is the ideal
introductory class to basic aerobatics. It
is important to be able to perform your
sequence in all types of winds.
As I mentioned earlier, many
individuals who are just getting started
in IMAC sometimes have difficulty
reading Aresti symbols. Throughout
the years, I have written a few columns
discussing full routines or individual
maneuvers and what is meant by each
symbol.
If you are looking at a particular
symbol or figure, and still experiencing
difficulty even after you look at the
IMAC Lite application, if applicable,
either post a question on the IMAC
website under the Forums section or
write to me!
Until next time, fly hard!
