Default How to do the wall?

With a Hype: fly a straight line, Throttle back, pull full up elevator to vertical (very quick with this type of model.) then throttle up again.



Mine just got half wrecked in a mid air!! Miraculousy, the fin, tailplane, elevators and rudder had all been torn off, yet i managed a perfectly safe and controlled landing using flaps as elevators!


It's well on the way to being fully repaired.


Word of warning, if you haven't changed the supplied tank, do so, mine burst and seriously weakened the front end, which I've had to double with 0.8mm ply.


It really is class for 3D, but it's gotta be set up properly before it'll do the unlimited things properly.

The rolling harrier is awesome, inches from the floor, and with very little airspeed... i reckon in a wind I'll make it backwards! Very hard on the concentration though


last prop I tried was a Bolly 11.5x6, went quite well but It could do with a bigger diameter, i'm hoping for a 13x4 or maybe a 14x4. I find you don't gain from having it revving away, it's a matter of finding the right prop and keeping the revs low, whilst allowing good acceleration and those sorta things!


Have Fun!
