Default anyone else thinks inverted harrier is the hardest maneuver?

On a sim, it became natural for me to do torque rolls, harriers, hovers, rolling harriers and other 3d stuff.


All except for the challenging "inverted harrier" maneuver which in my case was by far the hardest to do. I did it but it is not natural yet. I can make the wrong rudder input easily (belly facing me as well as canopy facing me).

I just thought someone would have a hint on inverted harriers.

Thanks in advance!

for me that inverted harrier is the easy one...rolling harrier and 4-8 points roll is the hard ones. And much more on the real life

I'll say it is probably the rolling circle or the rolling loop

Inverted harrier has been the most difficult to learn of any 3d Maneuver for me.

I'd say rolling harrier circles in the "unnatural direction" when you fully use elevator and ailerons is by far the hardest manouver for me. In fact, I can't even say that I can do them very well. I'm just getting rolling circles down in one direction now, and am still learning to do it properly.

But yes I agree, inverted harriers are up there as you gotta be thinking about aileron input as well as opposite rudder and elevator input.

If you can hover you can do an inverted harrier just think about when it is inverted, coming at you that you are hovering with the canopy in.
