RE: Rolling Harriers -- The New Technique
Well its not only simulator guys ... I have done rolling circles at an alititude of 5 feet from the ground in real life ... and my teacher Sajid Khan ... also uses the same technique ... his circles are so low that the wing tip is almost touching the ground. We have so much control that we can perfrom crisp circles any size we want.
Our current National Champion uses rudders in rolling circles but our runner up doesn't... and me too .. I am in advanced right now but my rolling circles cannot be beaten by the Champion even. Its all a matter of practice.
The other day, Sajid Khan also performed Rolling Harriers with elevators only on a G Trick 90, My Positron and his Flip 3D, they donot stall at all. When I get a chance to video myself doing the rolling harriers w/o rudder I'll post a video. Tommorow maybe I'll upload my AFP video which was just my 3rd flight after learning Rolling Harriers.
On the sim I use 60 degree throws on all surfaces and my custom built radio for the sim is the old hitec focus 4 without any switches or dual rates yet I can do anything on it without using rates,expos etc. You should keep maximum thros .. mark leseberg in his article states he has the greatest throws in the world. I did start from the 3D university video .... but what i notice is there is no need of rudder input at all ... by the time the plane reaches in knife edge its stays at the same angle ... while it is inverted you apply the elevator to maintain the angle and similarly for the rest half roll it maintains the same angle if you are proper on throttle. The key to this manevour I see is Maximum deflection of surfaces. With a little more practice I'll be "perfect" on this manevour and will have full command over it.
I think it's basically your practice as he says " Perfect practice makes perfect" so I'll go on mastering my technique unless i am PERFECTLY perfect ! All the guys at TOC and stuff donot use the same technique ... they all have their secrets ... and similarly they keep different planes , whichever suits them best for their flying style.
If you can learn using a technique that works well ... you can also master it to perfection.
