Typical “racetrack” pattern
Figure 8
Later, when you have more experience, you can fl y the standard
racetrack
pattern and even fl y fi gure 8’s. In both of these
patterns there will be instances when the plane is heading directly toward you.
Having the ability to fl y these different patterns and control the model in all orientations requires a little practice and
dedication–it’s almost like homework! But the rewards are that you will be able to fl y the model in more places (with less
space and more obstacles) and have better control to avoid crashes and in the end, have more fun!
