I read once that we don't read words as much as recognize them..

Ya'll knock this off, I'm on my 3rd beer....never lost power, but I tend to pull up when anything goes wrong(Bsarge pointed this out to me and he's right), and I have lost more than one plane pulling up when inverted.....and I also look like I'm fly fishing while all this is going on........Rog

Never pull up to avoid trouble when you're doing a low inverted pass......


...... don't ask......

Sounds familiar. I pulled "up" last week. It was costly.

Plows in Texas are purple and silver? In New Jersey they're JD Green and Yellow.

I've harped about this before, because I've done it to myself when I knew better. If you fly a plane inverted with perfectly neutral trim [meaning with no thumb pressure maintained for level flight], it is easier to forget which way to move the stick when the time counts. If you fly inverted with some forward pressure on the stick, I think that is a built in reminder for "which way is up". Practice each flight with an equal amount of right side up and inverted flight [up high] and it will eventually get burned into those brain cells. It might take many, many flights. Once you think that it has become second nature, then trim the model out for a neutral stick both ways and go enter the limbo contest.

There's a lot of research that's been done on that -- the simplest explanation can be found in the recognition of the shapes of familiar words. That's why it is easier to read text in Caps and Lower Case or just in lower case than in ALL UPPERCASE.

Anyone else ever had a plane that flew the same way right side up as upside down? I had built a few Aerocraft Snappers, and the third one flew perfectly level when upside down. Can't explain it other than the various trim factors and a bigger prop (this one was leccy powered).

Any well designed and trimmed 3D or pattern plane should be pretty darn close. Same goes for C/L combat and stunt, you can fly those planes and do manuevers blindfolded.

Hots with a piped Fox .45.Point and forget.Ultimately
that is what happened.My limited skills require me to
trim like Mr. Pigg says.A little reminder.

Howdie gents, DeviousDave, Yes, Rattel came out that way. Flys the same ether way. Most of the time its a balence thing. if it takes trim to fly level then she will not hold true inverted.Aoa comes into play to. A well balenced plane is a joy to fly ether way. And a fully symmterical airfoil helps to. hkbii.

I like the way you decorated Rattel, she has an Indian artwork look to her.

Even the forward pressure on the dtick didn't work for me on two occasions. Course it was long ago.
Indeed you are so right about the practice and many flights to fight the natural (for me) urge to simply yank back on the stick.

I think most of the Chinese are too busy building ARFs with hot glued firewalls and covering planes with seams facing into the wind to do much flying.

I went to Oshkosh two years ago. I was shocked to see a RV6 with the main wing panel with the seem facing forward. It had flown in so somebody signed off on it! All the others were facing back BTW.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
