Question on hovering
Hi all, I'm just starting with 3D and have the following question about hovering. I can get the plane into a hover but it seems it wants to rotate to the left from the torque. I give full right aileron and it still goes left. Not sure how to overcome this or am I not doing something I should be???
Plane:
Funtana X100
YS 110
APC 16x6
Thanks

RE: Question on hovering
Sorry about that..... Funtana X100
What would be the difference between the 16x4 and 17x4. I know I'll lose a lot of forward speed with the smaller pitch props.
As far as my flying style, its precision IMAC. Just getting into the 3D aspect of things.
Thanks

OK
RE: Question on hovering
I prefer torque rolling rather than hovering so I use the Low pitch props and on my planes it makes it tork roll quicker than say a 6 degree pitch prop.

RE: Question on hovering
Thats one thing I love about this plane, you can fly it fast - at least as fast as the 16x6 will fly it...
Thanks again,
Thanks again,
