RC Scale Aerobatics
In this article, John Glezellis discusses the advantages of using throttle curves in radio control aircraft, specifically with the Katana S and DA-170 engine. He emphasizes the importance of selecting the right propeller based on elevation and adjusting throttle curves accordingly. Glezellis provides insights on programming throttle curves using the JR 12X transmitter, encouraging pilots to refer to their manuals for specific instructions.

As a pilot begins an RC Aerobatics competition career, he or she will start in the Basic category and advance to the Unlimited class. This requires dedication to perfect the sequences being flown and to learn the techniques required to tune competition airframes. Although all basic core maneuvers are the same between categories, the elements found within them can differ—which brings me to this month’s topic.

As a pilot gains experience and progresses up the competition ladder, he or she quickly learns that every point counts. Attention must not only be given to perfecting a particular sequence, but also the aircraft’s setup. If you are too focused on correcting any odd tendencies that an airplane may exhibit because of a lack of proper trimming efforts, the result will be downgrades. This will affect how you place in competitions.

In Scale Aerobatics, there are two types of pilots. A sport aerobatic pilot is content with performing a loop, roll, and a few extreme maneuvers such as the hover and torque roll. A competition pilot, however, is interested in executing each figure of a given sequence with excellence.

After a pilot becomes interested in Scale Aerobatics, he or she will quickly realize that all Aerobatic classes feature similar maneuvers, but with a great difference in complexity.
