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.
