A dude asking for instructions on how to hover without using the rudder?

Shhh... I think it's Dave Brown... [:@]

Anyway, I've got a no rudder guy here in my club, and he brings planes to meetings, and makes a point of showing me that there is a rudder on it, but it's glued to the stab.

OK, to hover with no rudder, go with what Gordo first said. Fishing line and cheap camera tricks are the only thing that will get you where you want to be.

I guess you could program your transmitter to mix the rudder to follow the ailerons at 100%, but I'm not sure how much you would like that either, as you would still have to practice.

So, let's say that you will need 3 high gain gyros, and an FMA Co-Pilot. Install the gyros on all surfaces, and the FMA Co-Pilot as per the heli instructions. Just mount it at the mid point of the tail moment and program it to fly the rudder and elevator for you. The gyros will help it stabilize it too. So, all you have to do is learn to tune a needle valve, and work the throttle to hold a steady altitude. Wait a minute, that takes practice too.

Let's see, either the fishing line thing, or just take pictures of other folks doing it and tell us it's you...
