Hello all. I'm new to 3D flying and I have a question about Waterfalls.

I'm practicing on my Real Flight G2 using the Edge 540. It seems to snap out of the waterfall after about 180 degrees of rotation if I use full 40 degree elevator deflection. If I use less elevator it just does a tight outside loop. I have tried mixing in spoilerons and flaperons (which is correct?) and still no luck. Perhaps I need to move the CG back?

Anyways, I hope someone here can help me out as I'd like to get as much virtual "stick time" as I can before I get my UC3D built.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Are you flying the stock edge on realflight?

I'm using the large Edge that comes with Add-Ons 4 . I moved the CG back a little, tweaked the thrust lines and increased the throws on all surfaces.

Try blipping the throttle right as you give elevator input. Get it just about stopped and give a quick blast of full throttle at the same time you give full elevator.

If you want i will send you any set up you would like, all 4 add ons.

Chuck,

I normally apply full throttle and full down elevator from a stable hover...

Edgeomatic,
Thanks... I'll try what ever you want to send me!
