RE: The New 4D PPS from Ikarus
One other thing that some people may not realize, there is virtually no control over the plane when in reverse pitch. Most maneuvers you see done in the videos are a result of positioning the plane prior to going to reverse pitch. In conventional 3D flight, you are controlling the plane via prop blast over the control surfaces. In reverse pitch, there is no prop blast so the only airflow over the control surfaces is from the plane moving backwards which doesn't have much effect because by the time it gets moving backwards fast enough, it wants to flip around. I still can't wait to get one though.
