TR and 3d Quote

"The first part here is certainly not the case. There is never a time that "only means for recovery is going full power" But I really am tired of argueing the merits of 3D and tail tapping.


TR and 3D are thrust vectoring manuevers. If the thrust is gone how do you expect to recover?


I have personnaly had to drop to the ground while spotting for my father at a very prominenet air show when a TR gone south. The plane ended up hitting my Fathers antenna while he was flying. The pilot was gracious and seriuosly moved but he hanged on and pulled it out. I doubt this naturally reaction to save the model can be overcome. Just put them out 50'-75' and prove just how good you really are.......
