westy1957 -> Help flyng Ultimate 10 300 (4/24/2008 10:24:33 PM)

Hello,
I have a omp Ultimate w/saito 100 16x6 prop, and it is super.. I am learning harrier and hoover, but with this plane I find a strange thing flyng with it: when it goes slowly and begins to harrier: I can't stop it to flip on the right and on the left (alieron movment). That seems me too much...... Is only that I must learn more, or is something to change in the controls? Excuse my bad english, (I am italian)...

First thing is make sure the plane is properly balanced both longitudinally and laterally. Trim the plane for level flight and then roll inverted to see where the nose goes. If it drops a lot then you are nose heavy and should move weight back. Also check to see if a wing drops. If it does then that wing is heavy and you should weight the opposite wing. The Ultimate is a more agile and loose 3D plane versus a trainer style like the V3 Edge. Not the easiest to learn 3D on but doable if you have patience. You can also try programming in some spoileron to settle down harriers while learning. Use only 15-20% spoileron max though.

Thankyou Salmon!
I will check it....
Another question:
Have I to trim the plane, for level and inverted flight, at full trottle?

No, never fly at full throttle straight and level unless you have a plane designed for that, like racers. Given the amount of power we have on these profiles these days it is just not a good idea. Flat surfaces are inherently prone to flutter at high speeds. Aerobatic planes should be flown with grace! haha Anyway I like to trim my planes at 1/2 to 3/4 power. Full power is reserved for uplines and blasting out of the hole.
