Default Funtana wing rock?

I can do a harrier kinda low to the graound and correct with th ailerons and rudder but what do you guys do to make that wing rock look nonexhistant like Kyle and his funtana. does harriering at a higher angle help and do you use alot of rudder and little ailerons to coordinate a turn. I hate windy days!!!!

Most planes seem to have a sweet spot for harriers. The F90 likes its nose high. Once the nose gets low one wing tries to fly and you start rocking.

You could try a spoileron mix if your Tx can do that. Like so depending on the amount of up elevaor the ailerons will go up as well. this helps me with the nise down lower but I have found the sweet spot and once its in there it sits easy .

Banche try movieng your cg back a bit sounds like your a bit nose heavy, or do it inverted does it much better as its acting like a high winger

blanche,the first time i flew mine it rocked like crazy in harrier,the problem was cg to far back moved the battery up to the wing tube and elimanated it completely,no mixing is required with ailerons and also even when the nose is lowering it is still steady.
