Freestyle – A Master’s Guide to 3D Flight

The book “Freestyle – A Master’s Guide to 3D Flight” was released over 10 years ago, but is still very relevant today. It contains a long list of manoeuvres broken up into categories, and can be used a resource or plan for your learning path.

In this first episode of “Freestyle – A Master’s Guide to 3D Flight”, we look at the maneuvers as part of Basic Training. Most of the moves come from F3N, Global 3D or have just been around for a long time.

In this video we cover all the Basic Training, manoeuvres like hovering in all orientations, forwards and backwards flight, and some aerobatics, such as the wall and tailslide.

I’ve created 6 videos to show you the manoeuvres listed in the book. The book has lots of pictures and comments by top class helicopter pilots, but unfortunately the book is no longer available to buy, and unlikely to ever be in print again.
