SmackTalk RC Learning 3D #12 - Practice & Pirouetting Tips

Last episode in the series "Learning 3D". Bert wraps up the series by providing some important tips on how to practice, he also revisits pirouetting and gives you pointers on how to learn stationary pirouettes.

Bert, I'm glad you posted these online, and I'm glad I watched this one. I purchased some of these years ago(the first few, but I never got to #12), and then life happened and I lost focus. I've rediscovered these, and I feel encouraged by the advice in this particular video: focus, be disciplined, but also don't over do it. I think when I over do it, I practice 'wrong', and end up reinforcing bad habits. I have a long way to pick up where I left off, but I'm enjoying the hobby again. Always good to shake your hand at IRCHA each year. Take care!

This is a great chapter. Makes me want to go back and start from the beginning all over again!

Thank you Bert, this is the best RC Helicopter educational channel on youtube, with love from Russia.

Man, this video is old. Yet I wish KZbin had of recommended this to me 6 months ago. Now I can go to your channel and start from scratch. Your tips for how to practice alone answering alot of questions and frustrations I've had. Greatly appreciate this content. (Where I live, there's no clubs or friends to learn from/with. I have to do all on my own.)

[@BertKammerer]

Glad that the content is useful to you. We did all these videos many years ago, but the principle still applies the same way.

[@DaDuTchMan2357]

I greatly appreciate receiving a response as well as confirmation yrs later the concept remains valid. Your education as well as tips will definitely help me. Again, thank you, Sir.

Two things that I'm glad Bert mentioned in this episode that I had questions about since I am practicing pirouetting now: 1 - as you increase the speed of the piro you will decrease the number of corrections during the revolution, and eventually pick 1 correction per revolution - although I was practicing that, I'm glad Bert confirmed it, and 2 when correcting at a fast piro rate you have to start your correction before the visual queue you will correcting for, again, something I suspected but I'm glad Bert confirmed. This is the first instructional video that I have seen that have actually address those two important points. At first correcting during slow piros its like you're doing a small stir on the stick so it someone implies that you will be doing a small stir for correcting for drift during fast prios but as Bert said that is something that is not practical at those speeds. Good stuff. Glad I watched this!

This is great. Pirouetting advises from this vid got me to pirouette fast upright and inverted overnight actually. I agree this wasn't covered earlier. Great tips...

With this isolation from the pandemic, I’ve been really practising, why not, with all this free time. It’s true about giving the mind a break. Coming back to something I was struggling yesterday is so much easier the next. Great videos!

[@blazingsaddles5021]

These are brilliant thanks for uploading.

[@20twentycrew]

Top piro tips! Thank you so much!!

[@ruseloducena]

Thank you Bert....this video is very usefull 👍👍

[@lfrecords3970]

great "channel".....if someone could teach about how helis fly....Bert do it the best possible....

[@Ultimatevr123]

I’d like to note..and I see a lot of people not doing this, always start your heli to the side of you and tail away. Even if it’s not completely sideways just don’t start the heli up with the tail facing you and don’t get directly behind it. Things do fail and this will give you a much better chance at not dying. Because that 700 will kill you in a second

[@TheGrimreef]

Berts a top man in teaching to fly a heli.

[@BlvlWmpower]

Invaluable knowledge.

[@Thejasond1979]

The four flight rule was helpful thank you

[@brendanshield]

Great advise especially 13.52 onwards.... applies to more than just helis. If you dont get out of your comfort zone you are not learning.

Danke Bernd, You tuched the Points. it's Like for a.soldier it must be automatikly otherwise You' r ded! I'm 76 and for litle progess it taks me years, to help for the eyes have airbushed my Helikopters mostly in neon. AS older as more neon, thanks to that very, very little damage. (Very little retirmend mony also I prefer to hunger instead baying. bad materials) it's easyer to fly the big ons than the smal ones. I love my fleat and your Videos, realy well done. The Helis keep youg and on a good Level for technology. Thank' s lot. Simulator is realy not enogh, this machines are Like womens eatch of them is a bit different from the other, because of that must change, otherwise she becoms boring. Al the best from Germany. Mike Sorry for my engsh !

Is tik tok-ing the same as youtubing

If you can’t do this, and that….

[@mbee1337]

7:11 no milisecond of this video fits the word SIMPLE at all. living in the wrong universe I guess

[@BertKammerer]

Have you watched all the episodes of the Learning 3D Series? If so, this video would make more sense. This is all based on building a foundation starting with the basics and working your way up.

[@mbee1337]

@@BertKammerer oh sorry, I forgot to put a smiley at the end. this was not ment as offensive comment at all. to be honest, thought about buying a controller and a simulator for starting. any idea which one works best?
