Default RE: after plane starts to torque roll


ORIGINAL: q8cub

I was just done trying to torque roll for the 100th time today using FMS!

I am able to start the torque roll, however, the plane keeps wanting to dip (at random direction) and then comes the hardest part! keeping orientation of the plane rudder, and elevator positions and doing it as a second nature! I bet it is easier if you are inside the plane as in full scale planes where the pilot is sitting inside the cockpit.

ok, I have to tell myself to turn the rudder in the direction of the falling wing, but I have to make this action automatic.

It is similar to joggling, which I dont think I will ever be able to do
With the canopy facing you, fly the nose. When the belly is facing you, fly the tail. In other words, if the belly is facing you and the tail starts to move away from you "pull it back" by pulling back on the stick. If the tail veers off to the left, bring it back with right rudder...works for me.
I'm no Tq roll pro, but I can get 3-4 dropping torquerolls with my EF 50cc Yak fairly consistantly, at which time I have to stop it with aileron and regain composure before doing it again!
