RE: Rolling Harriers
I am really trying to get the video done! I have a few other small projects before I can get to this one. Will Buyers from Quiet Flyer magazine is going to help me with this one. I want to make sure that it is done right. I hope to have something up before Christmas.
Your question about rolling circles is very easy:
I have two rates when I fly!
Pattern and Freestyle.
Pattern
35 degrees up and down Ailerons
20 degrees up and down Elevator
70-80% D/R Rudder
Expo is set at 25-50% on all rates
Freestyle
45 degrees up and down Ailerons
35-40 degrees up and down Elevator
100% Rudder
Expo is set at 45-90% on these rates
I fly a very responsive airplane, especially in the roll axis.
I fly the same CG in Pattern and Freestyle. Less Change this way and easier to predict what the airplane is going to do. No switches to remember! Learn to fly the airplane as if you didn't have a $1000 computer radio. Remember that you just might have to fly a plane someday in a competition that you have had zero practice with. Fly an airplane to learn an airplane. Airplanes are very difficult to master. If you do it this way, I promise that one day you will fell like part of it.
Hope this helps,
