Hi

I have a AeroFlyPro (the non-USB, Original Aerofly Professional Interface version) and have it patched to the atest patch (Original AeroFly Pro
Update Patch 1.6.8.6). Regarless of what airplane I pick, I need to apply a lot of down elevator to fly it level. This is very unrealistic and makes it less useful to pratice 3D or IMAC.

I have checked the radio channel settings on the Sim, the airplane CG and elevator settings, and the trim/travel settings on my Futaba radio. Looks fine.

Any advice on correct this bad habit?

Thanks --qc

Must be something with your pulse length (150mS) for neutral.

wahoo

Hi QC,

You said you have checked the radio channel settings on the Sim, the airplane CG and elevator settings, and the trim/travel settings on your Futaba radio.

Did you try calibrating the radio in the sim?

I have AFPD and it has a button on the main menu for this, not sure what version you have.

Just a thought,
John

qc, before you do a calibration of your Tx, ensure that all programmed mixes in your radio are disabled, and all trims set to neutral. If you are using dual rates, calibrate at high rates.

Thanks for all replied.

Will disable the mixes and calibrate at high rates.

I have also noticed this with some airplanes. I tryed to email Rodeo about it but I have gotten no resopnse yet. I am sure there is some where in the TMD file it can be altered but I am not sure where yet. I wonder if one used the editor and moved the weight back and added more downthrust if it would fix it.

By the way i repainted and modifed some aircraft for AFPD if anyone wants some more planes. I have my Flair Fokker DVII, a P-38, and P-51 Gunfighter.

Sir,

I experimented with a 3D Kat and tried to make it like My Accel Kantana 40. I changed the weight and moved the CG way back and changed the tail incidence. I have it flying pretty close right side up and upside down with little or no elevator input. If you want me to send you a Zipped file of the 3D plane drop me an email and I will send it to you. I do like a little bit of down elevator when I am upside down just to continually remind my hand not to pull the stick back on low inverted passes.

Yeah, the recalibration did the job. Another thing I discovered is that the wing incidences on a lot of models have a positive value (1 or 1.5). With wing incidences set to zero and a calibrated control, I was able to fly several planes pretty hands-free either up-right or inverted.
