Default RE: Hovering and Torque Roll Question

#1 You have to commit and get it low so you can see what its doing. When the plane is far from you and high, you can't really tell what its doing. I am not saying get it a foot off the ground, but get low. The ambiant light can form illusions on which attitude the plane is actually in when your plane is high.

#2 PRCTICE........ Start off by trying to find the sweet spot. Do this by pointing the plane straight up and watch what it does. Dont try to correct it first, just watch. The next time, make a small correction or two until you get better at your inputs. (TIP) when the belly is to you, and it starts to fall off to one side or the other. point the rudder stick towards the falling wing. You may have to blast a little wind over the surfaces every once in a while. Quick little burst....

#3 PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE AND PRACTICE SOME MORE.......

This is basicly the way I learned..


Hope this helps,
Shane
