Well after a week of playing with FMS and flying for a couple of hours Friday evening I felt that I was ready to do some basic "tricks". Well I played around with the typical roll, I did so many I got dizzy. Then twords the end of the afternoon ( with the tunes cranked ) I was pumped up and decided to invert the plane. I remember a guy telling me that the ailerons do not change, so with that in mind I trimmed her out best I could inverted and made about 7 passes or loops. That was the best feeling watching that plane and relatives and friends ewwwing and awwwing in the back ground. Today i made somewhere in the neighbor hood of 40 touch and goes and about 20 landings, and to date I have done this all on my own. Very satisfying feeling. 2 things I have not done, 1 learned the rudder (when interface cable comes in this week I will play with that on the computer, and second is the basic loop. I have done it with my electric skyscooter but avoiding disorientation for the moment I chicken out about the time I think I have worked up the nerve. In time I am certain it will come to me....this hobby has to be worse than a drug addiction.
Oh one other thing, and I would like some input since I have limited rc plane knowledge, I plan on ordering a spy cam or equivilent of that rund on the 9 volt battery. Where is the best place in the fuse to locate the battery, seems awfuly tight. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
