B test questions

[Tom Burgess]

Hi Guy's.

Iv'e been doing a bit of practice for my B test. It isn't booked yet but I have a few questions.

Is it still acceptable to go straight in for the B and if so, how long will that be the case? I heard it won't be an option for long.

Also, is there any documentation anywhere that shows the manouvers? I have found a few things but am unsure which ones are current.

I'm a little worried that I am practicing the wrong things.

Cheers

Tom

There you go Tom. The hovering M has been replaced with the bow tie but it's still a similar manouver. Without looking at the whole thing everything else should be the same. Oh, and four point hover is missing. In fact there is prob a newer version kicking about! Lol!!

Cheers

smart arse!

For anyone thinking of taking it, myself and a few others have spent a couple of flights practicing it now, and I've got to say, it really does make you realise how rusty you can be despite the fact you can fly a little 3D. I have a whole new respect for F3C now that I never thought I would have.

I will be going scale next
