I am learning rolling harriers and rolling circles.

So far, I can only do elevator compensated rolling anything. I 'catch' myself using bits of rudder, but not enough to provide a good, smooth rudder compensated roller. Does this come in time with practice, or do I need to consciously TRY to do it?

I do most of my practice with foam. With my gassers, (50cc and 100cc), it all seems a bit easier, but then there is the 'pucker factor'.


Any advice would be helpful, Thanks.

i learn by doing a lot of slow rolls taking 4-6 seconds to complete the slow roll, if u do slow rolls u must input rudder to stay afloat....

Consciously try to do it at first, then it will come autommatically in time. I fly mode 1 (Rudder and Elevator on the same stick) so it is easier, it just becomes a circular motion on the left stick in time with the roll.

As krazyrc said - practice it on slow rolls, the speed will follow.

A good simulator is the best tool for this and other high risk moves that need many practice hours of stick time.
