    Daniel Holman: The Origins of Extreme Aerobatics & Life as an Alaskan Bush Pilot

    Daniel Holman is one of the most respected names in RC aerobatics. In the early 2010s, his freestyle routines blended musicality, precision, and smooth, high-speed lines—helping push the sport into a new era of extreme aerobatics. As a long-time team pilot for Extreme Flight, Daniel became known for his graceful yet aggressive flying style and for pushing aircraft to their limits in top-tier competitions. After a decade-long break from RC, Daniel is back—flying again from his home in Alaska, where he now works as a commercial pilot. From flying King Airs across remote villages to landing his personal Cessna 180 on gravel bars in the middle of nowhere, his day job takes aviation to the edge of what’s possible. In this episode, Daniel shares stories from both worlds—RC and full-scale—including insights on freestyle design, lessons from flying in extreme conditions, and what it’s like to rediscover the hobby after years away. Whether you're into 3D, precision flying, or full-scale bush aviation, this one’s a must-listen. 👉 Daniel's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007248378096 🎵 Music: Inspiring People by Aylex 🎧 Source: https://freetouse.com/music (No Copyright Music – Free for YouTube Videos)

    Thomas David - Using Flight Coach to improve your pattern flying

    Imagine a tool that not only helps pilots improve their flying but also changes the way we think about RC aerobatics competitions. *Flight Coach* does exactly that. By logging GPS and attitude flight data, it allows pilots to review their performance, pinpoint mistakes, refine maneuvers, and uncover areas for improvement like never before. Beyond training, *Flight Coach Score* unlocks exciting possibilities: global leaderboards, remote competitions, and even world records to connect pilots across the globe. It also has the potential to enhance—or even replace—human judging in live events. Today, we’re sitting down with Thomas David, the developer of *Flight Coach Score* and a world-class F3A pilot. We’ll dive into the ins and outs of *Flight Coach* and *Flight Coach Score*, discuss how these tools are shaping the future of precision aerobatics, and watch as Tom gives us a demo of the *Flight Coach* software in action.
