How to spin

I was look at the IMAC Basic sequence. I thought for variety, I might start practice that sequence in addition to Sportsman pattern. All the moves seem about the same level of difficultly except...

Just so I understand the differential thing. If flying in roll in a vertical downline I get wobble/corkscrew, I want to put in less throw on the down aileron and more on the up?

How about just one horizontal roll?

I read the three-roll thread and that started me thinking about me trying to keep my one horizontal roll in line when flying Sportsman.

My Monolog-70 tracks straight in rolls with little if any...

Just realized, I need to work on the calculations more. The d^4*p formula compares load assuming the same RPM, but the RPM won't be the same from 5S to 6S with the same motor.

Are you referring to the motor in the Splendor? The replacement prop is listed as an APC 14x7E, not a 15x8. A 16x10 sounds like way too much of an increase.

From what I understand prop load is...

I just noticed the GP120 in the Tower catalog also. It's seem to me a 5S 5000mAH sounds small for a 120 sized plane. I fly my 70 sized plane with a 5S 5000mah. I would think 120 planes fly on 8S...

How does it fly on 5S? Did you have to use a higher pitch or bigger prop?

I wanted a smaller practice plane (since I lost my 46" plane this spring) I can just throw in the car, fly a few packs at the local field after work and then come home.

No idea how similar the plane is but I fly my Monolog 70 with an A50-12S, 5s5000mAH, and an APC 15x10. I get about 7.5 minutes with and put about 3000-3500mAH back in after a flight only draining...

All that stuff about into the wind makes perfect sense.

Plane Measurements (neg Gs / down elevator loop part trois)

Nudge of down elevator at the top of the loop

If I interpret all the responses in the Negative Gs at the top of the loop thread, I should fly with enough airspeed and power that the plane always pulls positive Gs for any reasonably-sized loop.
