So, what's YOUR topic?
 
I posted the thread and unless you've a question in regards to U-STICK CAN HOVER I figure that you're as guilty as we are. Would you like some tips on HOVERING? :tired:

Acutally hes just pointing out your error. Keep the personal crap from clogging up the forums.

And I think you should be getting tips from him because hes way more advanced than you.

Lower.... hows this....

Wow!...
 
...OK, you get the prize, guess that's about as low as it gets! Maybe you can actually help. Now that I can get the plane to hover, what's the next step towards T/R'in? I've noticed that when I'm perfectly vertical, or even slgtly pitched back towards the canopy, the plane will roll. Sometimes, I can even get one or one.5 rolls, but it pretty much does it on its own and I always seem to lose it anyhow. How can I keep the plane perfectly vertical through a T/R.

I assume your having trouble with the inputs when the planes belly is toward you.
How about trying hovering with the belly toward you..and then when you're ready torque that baby and you should be fine.

Sims are also handy for getting the orientation down.

If I enter the hover with the belly towards me does that mean that I would have to enter the hover inverted?

Nope just fly towards you (not too close) and pull up and you'll be staring at the belly of the plane. Its a little easier to learn the inputs for this without torquing around.

Cool Pic
 
Chris, is that a Morris Sledge? I've tried hovering profiles but I find them alot more difficult and have had very little success. They seem too short coupled and erratic. Although, I've never seen anyone in person hovering profiles, I've seen quite a few posts here on RCU. Are the Morris designs (Top Cap/Sledge/Su-Do/etc.) the exception?

Need (more than a little) help from the forum.
In setting up my u stick 40, cannot get crow to set up or beyond with jr 8103.
Am now in process of setting it up with futaba 8, it works okay, but I lose flaps only function with it.
Also: own both large and small stiks, have noticed that control setup figures are identical to in both instruction manuals. Is this an error or what?
Have called Horizon hobby, (har har) all they say is " read the manual."
Not much tech help there, have read this gripe on other threads before. Seems to be, "U bought it, U own it."
In closing, any suggestions on starting c.g. et. all, would be appreciated as I am losing faith on either Horizon hobby or my ability to comprehend written instructions. (U guess which one?)
Thanks to all that reply
Gary Smith
