Yes Charlie, but I said ALL airplanes, not just this one. Dihedral won't prevent a model rolling, I have a couple of R/O models, with dihedral, that roll really well. One of them is an overpowered Headmaster. Hence the idea to add rudder in the direction of roll. I think the OP has got the idea that this model is not ideal for what is being attempted, but he can continue to experiment with the disposable model until he has finished something that is more inclined to respond to aileron. Perhaps he could respond with the results of his experiments?
Evan, WB #12.
All's I'm looking for is the ability to invert and do a 1/2 roll downwind so I can head into the wind and land without taking up a LOT of distance.
Currently I'm stiffining up the foam ailerons with carbon rods,[ putting hinges tape] instead of using the continuos foam ones, rolling with the torgue, using both the rudder and ailerons as I was only using the ailerons before.
I haven't put all these things in practice yet. Will try tomorrow if the wind allows flying.
It just might be easier to get a plane that's designed to do stunts.
It's like trying to make my old Goldberg Eagle Trainer do 3-D stunts. Not happening!
