RE: Prefered rolling direction;any tips on perfecting the other direction
Mark,
Just fly P-05...it will teach you to roll left and right...
2/4pt rolls reversed
4/8pt, opposite slow roll fro Inverted
3/4 slow rolls reversed from Inverted.
And if that doesn't help ya...
Go to the F-05
3/4pt rolls reversed from Inverted
Rolling circle 3 rolls reversed-- 1st roll outside ( this one is a kicker as left to right flight direction means one roll direction but R to L flight direction reverses it....FUN eh?
Reverse Knife Edge from Upright, Exit inverted
45 down 2/4pt Opposite Negative Snap.
Each sequence has lots of opposing rolls. Just fly that it will ingrain you into rolling both ways.
If you really want to know how to learn both directions...2 Rolls Reversed. Do a 100 of them 1st roll to the right and then do a 100 more 1st roll to the left. And I don't mean aileron the rolls over like a Newbie doing his 3 horror rolls. Do them slow like just a little bit faster than a slow roll. Just do Humpty's on both ends and 2 rolls reversed in the middle upwind and downwind....It will take about 10-12 flights maybe to get in your 200 rolls each way....
Do your poor roll direction as the first roll of the 2 roll combo....then go the other way....Oh and then fly an entire flight of rolling your bad direction except when reversed rolls are called....So on your verticals with rolls roll right...and on the Immelmans and Split S's roll Right...Hour Glasses roll right....Assuming you right roll is the poor direction.
If you do another 100 flights of always rolling to your poor side you won't care which direction to roll...I promise you!
My poor rolling direction is to the left. When I learned to slow roll I had a poorly built model....And or I had a very poorly trimmed model too.
Left slow rolls had so much coupling the roll looked like I was flying F-05 with the rolling circle and the Rolling loop.
So I learned everything to the right very well...I flew everything to the right until flying AMA Masters class in 98' with the 2 rolls Opposite direction....By 99' I had that one Semi mastered...So I went to F3A in 00' and got the 2 rolls reversed from inverted n the F-01....Still until last season 2002 I was still struggling with rolling left...So I spent about 2 months flying everything to the left....It solved that problem....I have others but rolling tends to be one of my better skills now.
My advice...
Worth what you paid for it.
