Default RE: Flat Spins in a BVM Bandit


ORIGINAL: i3dm

how do you enter a flat spin with a none vector thrusted jet ?
I enter it doing a medium to fast pass. I pull up, turn smoke on , throttle to idle....then

A. Start slow aileron roll (Thanks for this tip Jack Sr.!)

or

B. Let the jet stall.

Which ever way, once the jet starts its decent, you are ready for a flat spin (inverted is recommended by me BTW)

move the Right Stick to this position: Away and to the Left (down elevator and left aileron roll)

AND move the Left stick to full Opposite Rudder.

Add a touch of throttle to accelerate the spin.

And viola! Inverted Flat spin.

It should look like this.



To stop the spin, go to idle and release. ALL my Bandits have recovered, INSTANTLY, inverted EVERY time.

If you do it right, it'll end like this.



To do an upright flat spin, instead of down elevator, pull up. Then be ready for funny business!
