Default RE: Capiche 50

Managed a couple of flights with the C50 today . Was just mucking around (still havent had that many flights, today was nos 6 and 7).

Starting to get the hang of it now. mixed 5% rudder to aileron, now dead upright on KE horizon to horizon. Will mix in a bit of down elevator next time to counter the little pitch coupling.

Had a go at high alpha KE on 3d rates . First time it snapped on me, but after that I started to get the hang of it. Basically I was doing a KE elevator into harrier. V messy, but another manouver I have not done before.

Also had a few goes at flat spins. Just basic upright ones, and started to get the hang of it. Been a long time since I have done flat spins, will take a while before I really get the hang of them. I have decided to practice flat spins before trying blenders again.

I'll try to be a bit more disciplined from now on and practise specific manouvers.

Merry Xmas!
