The World Class Flight Controls initial course presents a very structured approach for setting up the mechanical control system of the aircraft along with programming the transmitter/servos to make the most effective use of the many features that are available to you. The end objective is to help you achieve an aircraft that is efficient in all of the maneuvers of your sequence. Quality and durability of your radio system and mechanical linkages is also discussed. I look forward to the next course that Brett is developing. I highly recommend the RC Flight Academy course for all Pattern Fliers, old and new.
