3:00 interesting... when I was learning to fly a heli inverted.. I used a similar notion... use the tail rotor (rudder) to push the tail around v. Pointing the nose...

At 64yrs old, I'm a bit late to the game but better late than never right? Upright elevators and harriers feel almost relaxing now, but inverted harriers, and especially rolling harriers are spooky. I'm working on the sim, trying to translate from sim to the real world, and can see that there is a corrolation between stick time and progress. I find your videos very informative and down right encouraging. Please keep them coming! I live in northwest Georgia, a little over an hour away from your favorite northwest Georgia field. Hopefully I'll bump into you one day.

I have a new 66” blackhorse sbach with the side-force winglets. DLE20 16X8 and not enough vertical in my opinion. Is there a different prop size you would suggest trying?
@LouCosmeRC-ov2ol Ай бұрын
Thanx! What would the difference be on a 27 inch or a 29 inch? I’m trying to find the right size for my plane. I don’t have enough vertical.

Hi Don, I know you've been busy, but I have a puzzle about this. I'm using an NX-8, AR-620, Castle Creations talon 90 and XPWR -22 on an Ultimate biplane glow to electric conversion. (Video coming) I powered the ESC early in the build to center servos and set the throws etc. Now that the motor has been added, I thought I did the calibration correctly. Throttle up when connecting battery. The ESC connects. Throttle down and the motor "arms". Seems to work fine. Check throttle cut. Everything is good to this point. Turn throttle cut off, and the motor suddenly starts (at about an idle) but I have a dozen planes and none have ever done this. As I adjust the throttle trim down to about minus 60 the motor slows to a stop. But this is the first time I have had to trim my throttle down. Kind of dangerous since I thought the plane had been safety tested and then... "Hey! Why did the motor start?" Any ideas? Thank you. Edit: Problem diagnosed: Throttle cut on other planes recommended -130% I checked it against my U Can Do with the exact same power system and throttle cut was set to only -100% So I adjusted throttle cut to -100% and works properly now. Interestingly, as I adjust the throttle trim up, the motor begins to spin at about 58-60. So I surmise the ESC was getting sent a "new low" by the throttle cut and adjusting accordingly.

Hi from Colorado! Thank you so much for your videos. This is super helpful and I’m defining going to do this for my planes now. I couldn’t understand what mix to add because they do act differently left to right vs right to left. Now I have a place to start and feel I can be successful with your techniques. You are the best! Thank you! 🙌

I'm way late to this but just in case you happen to see this... You don't have it on a switch but what about general flight? Example: blending rudder into turns to make flat turns maybe when going slow to avoid a tip stall.... ot seems like the mix would add positive or negative elevator? Or is it a negligible amount? Thank you in advance!
@RC-Air Ай бұрын
So yes it’s always on for all forms of flight. The amount of correction is small and when you’re only adding a small amount of rudder it only adds enough to correct. Think gyro before gyro.

The truth is, no matter how cool, calm and collected you are after a crash, son-of-a-b it still hurts lol… I spent 3 weeks balancing and experimenting with sticky weights until I got it flying like a dream! And finally! it was perfect! until a high speed low pass on knife edge when it didn’t respond to my inputs 😢 It destroyed me bad. Its been 2 months and its starting to feel better. Yesterday I looked at the destroyed Extra-300 in a plastic bin of pieces and thought, I think its time to begin project repair. So, time does help alleviate the pain some 😅. By the way… I’ll be uploading that crash this week. Happy Flying!

That’s tough to say. I’ve not ever flown with a 20cc. The ignition won’t use a ton of juice, so do what you can to keep it light. Nothing wrong with changing batteries out. No need to use a big one for more flights. In that size plane, ounces matter a lot! Keep it as light as you can and you’ll have a much better flying experience.
