Default RE: Capiche 50

Managed a harrier landing today . Just lined it up, let it sink in, then as it approached the strip eased off the elevator a bit and gave a bit more power to level off a bit and she was down.

Also managed one torque roll . Now I am starting to feel really comfortable with it.

Had a couple of problems though. First, on the second flight I was getting a lot of twitching. So I landed and did a range check. Got about 2 meters. Tried a few things, replacing the crystal did the trick.

So back up in the air, and half way through the flight, the canopy came off [&:]. Still I found it again, and all is back in one piece. I did try an inverted harrier, but it was all over the place. As I did it just before the canopy came off, I wonder if it was coming off and was therefore upsetting things. I'll try again tomorrow.

Oh and I was also trying knife edge circuits and figure eights, but they are still a bit messy so need more practise. I may cut out that RCME article on blenders and try them again tomorrow .

Incidentally, I have now set up two 3D settings on my tranny, one with 60% aileron travel. I tend to use this more than the 100% travel, it is a bit less sensitive.
