Hi,
usually the pps needs some seconds to change the flight direction completely.
E.g. if you fly horizontally, take the nose down at full throt forward and you pull backwards with the pps, the model will still continue for 1-3 meters before coming to a full stop and beginning flying backwards.
That is simpy because the model's mass.

When transitioning from full backwards to full forward the model reacts emediately because the wings and rudders get the prop-stream and you have at least after 0.5 sec full control again.

Transitioning the other way round you lose control very soon because the prop-stream fades.
When you try to hover upside-down you normally lose control at all but the model seems to be stable for a short moment - maybe because of the propeller's stabilizing effect - don't know...

When the model begins to move backwards you have a slight rudder effect, so you can control the direction a little bit. But that works only a few seconds after changing directions because the rudders must gain some airflow again.

@Dion, I will have a look onto your version of the SlowRide when I am back home tonight.

Btw.: the pps-system many guys here in germany use, is a modified rotor-head of the IKARUS Piccolo-Pro. It is not too much efford to adjust it to a LRK motor. But of course you need a hollow axis for the motor the the pitch-control-stab.

And - yes, I plan to do the Monsoon too... [8D]

Greest,
