Ok, i have a DP edge with a zdz 50 and i cant get the plane to not torque roll. If the wind is blowing i can just hover but when there is no wind the plane will torque roll.

If you can give me some input it would be greatly appreciated! I want to just hover !


Chad

Try right aileron...

Well i wish that would work but you can hold the airlerons hard right and it will still torque roll ! [:@].


Chad

not familiar w/DP Edge, do the ailerons go all the way to the fuse?if not then they may not be effective in a hover. if they do then perhaps your aileron throwis not high enough on 3D rates.


other than that im no help.

I suggest some right thrust, if u dont have any in

Tilting the plane a few degrees to the belly will help prevent torque rolling.

Thanks for the replies , I have already added more right thrust i have about 3 deg. now. Didnt seem to help much when i added it. The question to the airleons is no they dont go all the all to the fuse.
I guess to fix the plane i will have to sell it or make the airlerons longer ! [:@].

Chad

yep thats what it''ll take i spoze. of coarse you could just get really good at torque rolling

You cannot prevent torque roll. Its the natural order of engines.

If the plane is tilted forward enough you can easily stop the rolling force. Its just a matter of finding the sweet spot.

I know your thinking that the ZDZ 50 on that plane is the reason for the extra torque, that you cant seem to stop but its not that at all.

I've flown a friends Wild hare Extra with a new MVVS 58 which has a rediculous amount of power and he felt his couldnt stop spinning for the same reason. I tried it a few times until I found what it needed and then hovered half the tank. He's still sort of pissed because he hasnt found that sweet spot yet.

I can torque roll , i just dont want too....... When i get the plane to the sweet spot it is kinda of in a harrier in other words it has forward movement.

Thanks for the input guys i will keep at it and try to get it right just a few hundred more gallons of fuel and i might have it right [&:].


Chad

OH well, at least its just a few hundred gallons of gasolene. that stuff is cheap([sm=spinnyeyes.gif]what am i typing??) er than glow fuel.
