No better person to expand the reach of RC to a large audience than Jase. Seems like this is his 2024 goal with no US freestyle comps going on. His Cleetus collab surely made waves in the RC world!

[@davidhall4398]

Brilliant listening to Jase's thoughts and experiences plus his very healthy attitude to the hobby He obviously has a massive passion for freestyle Love his setup answers... Plus his SIM experiences are all greatly appreciated and back up mostly what I suspected regarding muscle memory and learning new manouvers

Is it hard to learn to 3D fly without a simulator iv been flying off and on for quite some time but just now really focus in on 3D. I don't have a computer so getting a simulator would be really expensive.

[@explod329]

Mike, as an experienced 3D pilot myself, You could learn 3D without the sim but I think it would cost you more in the long run with airframes and repairs. I would look for a used pc/laptop and a used copy of real flight off face book marketplace. Something like Version 7.5. No reason for the latest and greatest. The sim saved me a lot of time and planes to be honest. I fell in love with Hovering and the Rolling harrier and the sim taught me those and built my confidence in real life. Nothing like that first real hover. I'll never forget it. Once I started performing those maneuvers in real life pretty decent I moved on to the next and so on. Good luck with your adventure and feel free to message me if you have any questions.

[@MIKE-br2lz]

Hay thank you for the info. Didn't think about getting used that's a really good idea I'm definitely going to look into that. Thank you so much have a great day. Love the videos.

[@Acemechanicalservices]

@@MIKE-br2lz The sim is helpful, but don’t look at it as completely necessary. I can tell you this, you can fly on that sim and get to where you think you’ve got it all down, but in my experience, it doesn’t just transfer to the field. It’s a completely different ballgame. You don’t necessarily have to wreck planes to progress. You just have to make progress carefully and methodically. Focus on something and don’t push it until you have it down 100%. You have to get low and slow at some point, and learning when it’s time to bail and how to put it down without major damage is an entire skill set. It’s a process.

Bring back king 50 and tournament of champions......and of course aerobatic shootout....but the king 50 qould bring alot of people

[@skyboundrc]

agreed. Having entry level events as well as international level aspirational contests would be a great way to promote and advance the sport.
