The PDF supplied in the original post was very informative w/ Diagrams and everything.

Now, F3C/FAI is considered the TOP class. If you're just starting this stuff, try the AMA classes 1, 2, or 3 first.

Those are detailed at:

Class I is all tail-in hovering. Class II is great to start with if you're good at FFF and side in hovering. Class III throws in a roll and auto, plus some nose in hovering.

Now if we could just get some contests out here on the west coast.

Gives me fuel for some new training.

The zip-file in your first post, cant be found on the server.
The pdf-file you gave in one of the last posts cant be opened in adobe reader.

I just found this thread & I'm hoping that it can still be revived.

Is there any news regarding the power point presentation mentioned? I look forward to seeing it if its already done.

I'm trying to learn the Maneuvers for Schedule A at this time. I'm having a hard time with the first part, the hovering portion. I'd appreciate any tips on this.

regards!

time for the defibrillator :-) CLEAR! .... bwzaatt-THUD .... I think we have something here :-)

seriously these videos are great. but, I am under the impression that the F3C schedules have changed a little in the last year and I was hoping someone could post some newer F3C videos and maybe even narrate them as well so the lay-man knows what to watch out for :-)

it appears that www.fai.org site is down but I did find this nice PDF which contains the the most info I have been able to find on the new F3C schedules :-)

good luck to all and thanks for any help :-)

Here is a link on the AMA website to the F3C Judge's Guide in PDF Powerpoint. It's big, almost 7meg.

A Schedule is still the same, but C Schedule has had a couple changes...The Auto with 180° piro is now just an "S Auto" with no piro, and the time allotment is now 11 minutes.

I will try to get some video of C schedule at the next contest in Nashville.
