Favourite flight to music?

[Matt-L]

This has to be my favourite flight to music, in fact I reckon its my all time favourite flight full stop. Followed extremely closely by Duncan's 'Prodigy, Its An Omen' flight

Although it's good i must say i don't like FTM when they use multiple choices of music. I just think it's cheating taking bits from various traks & play them so they suit certain parts of the routine instead of choosing 1 trak & using artistic ability to compose a flight that fits the music. It makes it finding music for your flight rather than a flight to music

yeah i know what you mean

That's why Duncan uses Muse a lot, you get a nice gentle bit then a crackers bit. Nice to see a thread appreciating my favourite flying discipline, and Dunc.

I've just been watching some of this years XFC vids, its such a shame Duncan doesn't enter, I reckon he would give some of the really big names a hard time (as he does at 3DM). If ever there was a comp suited for Duncan's flying its the XFC. IMO

this is the one I like

Hi many thanks I have just caught this thread. Personally I would say this is not a good representation of a competition flight to music. I would call this more of a flight 'with' music. I had no set out routine for that flight it was purely a few general ideas that i played around with on a simulator and then improvised with. You will see a lot more flights like this 'with' music in a competition like Zone where pilots have music to fly with but not actualy directly scored although you can influence your scores with a nice clean flight with music. The music is mainly for spectator entertainment but can also really help a pilot with timing and the setting out their flight.

A good flight to music round for competition the judges are looking for you to hit pretty much every beat and whistle in a song at the highest standard. I think Dominic Haegele he pretty much hits every beat and has good speed changes ect in the flight this is what you should aim for.

Stu, do you remember your music round in the 2008 3D Champs? I do, a superb flight. You had all the elements and best of all I enjoyed it.

Haegeles flight was bloody horrible, he flys to crap music, no class whatsoever, sorry Stu not a patch on Duncan. For that matter Adam Turners 3D Champs flight last year was excellent, better than Duncs
