RE: Capiche 50
errr Archie no,
I thought the vertical parallel descent was called the Elevator, Harrier is with throttle to give froward movement at high alpha, and the Parachute is a vertical downline, throttle at idle, then apply full rate elevator and the model stops dead in its tracks. From the Parachute you can then easily transition into a harrier. Someone please tell me I'm right, or correct me !
In the harrier I tend to use ailerons and rudder in tiny movements to steer around, as the rudder is too sensitive on its own as Luke observed.
