He certainly has! The stuff I saw him do at huckfest hurt my headthat has to be the best flying i have ever seen, that includes his winning round at the tucson aerobatics shootout last year. he seems to have used his quarantine time wisely.

yeah! Insane!
His flying is insane. I wish they made that scheme on the production NG, but the red and black they sell looks fantastic 😁this one is nuts as well...
love the way he starts, no messing around!

you gonna take her INTO a watch?! you got a miniturizer?
Ohh, I thought you meant make my wife into a smartwatch. I never thought about the other option.
Just watching him freestyle at huckfest was absolutely amazing!!that has to be the best flying i have ever seen, that includes his winning round at the tucson aerobatics shootout last year. he seems to have used his quarantine time wisely.

He uses both! You use every control surface at once for just about every maneuver in the XA world
I think that it really depends on how much experience you have with each. For example, I always flew thumbs and I can get more precision with that than almost anything else. The only thing better for me would be thumbs and bracing the stick with my index finger for support. I think that he was probably flying since he was really young, so he had to use thumbs then and he just stuck with it.ya, he flies thumbs which is kinda different than most. most fly fingers including me, and it makes me start to wonder if i should go back to thumbs for 3D?

I fly thumbs with my index finger on the front of the stick for support. I do that on everything 😆yes. i started just like him (flying thumbs) but was strongly encouraged to support that with my index finger (flying fingers). i have much better control and consistency using fingers, but i made the switch long ago and that is how i fly now. maybe hours of practice again the other way i would be just as good but who knows.
it is an interesting topic though.
how do you fly?
do you fly different depending upon the airplane? fast vs slow, glider vs 3d?
what about a drone?
any helo's out there?
i fly fingers regardless of craft type. airplane/drone/helo all fingers.

I usually fly thumbs but every once in a while I brace it with my index. This usually only happens when I remember to do it though. Also I would normally only do this when I need more control and precision. I am making the slow transition to doing this all the time though.yes. i started just like him (flying thumbs) but was strongly encouraged to support that with my index finger (flying fingers). i have much better control and consistency using fingers, but i made the switch long ago and that is how i fly now. maybe hours of practice again the other way i would be just as good but who knows.

on another humble note. one of our club members was again recognized for his service. he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his heroism in action. his actions were just recalled in a new book. he was the first person to hand me a controller in flight and i am honored to know him.
his story here... BEST BACKSEAT DRIVER EVER!
